If you want to add a little more culture to your escape, put Museu Das Reducoes on your travel itinerary. See if there are any guided tours or simply roam around at your own speed.
This museum is one of the many reasons travelers visit Amarantina. But Museu Das Reducoes isn't the only thing to see around these parts. Igreja Matriz de Nossa Senhora de Nazaré is nearby and also deserves a visit.
