From Rio, we took an overnight bus (the first of many!) to Ouro Preto, a small colonial-era gold mining town about 7hrs north of Rio and nestled among hills.
The town is very quaint, full of baroque-style churches (some were amazing inside) and winding cobbled streets, and is now a Unesco World Heritage Site.
We stayed in an awesome big 18th-century house that has been converted into a B+B. It was full of antique furniture and had original creaky wooden floorboards. We had a relaxed couple of days here strolling the streets, visiting the galleries, museums and churches, and enjoying the local chocolate shop! We both loved this wee town.
