Where to stay in Ouro Preto

#likealocal Lavras Novas is a little town of Minas Gerais next to the historical city of Ouro Preto. The access is made by dirt road and the great attraction is the contact with nature. It has paradisiacal places, trails, waterfalls and it is possible to hire guided tours and 4x4 alternative transportation. It has simple and cozy inns and restaurants. And at night it is still possible to see a magnificent starry sky that is not found in the big cities! This is the “Valentine's #Waterfall”!

"This is an "adult property", not a proper place to stay unless one is looking for a discrete place to have sex. I feel I was bamboozled into making this reservation and I doubt I will ever see my money back. For the record, it is a very long distance from the center of Ouro Preto."
