Images from our trip to Diamantina MG
Introduction
Diamantina MG: The fame of Diamantina began with the discovery of precious stones when the city was still known as Arraial do Tejuco, back in the 18th century. Even after the diamonds heading to Portugal became scarce, the region remained prominent - first, due to its personalities, such as Chica da Silva, the slave who lived like a queen after marrying a Portuguese contractor; and the former president Juscelino Kubitschek, its most illustrious son. 
Later, due to the title of Cultural Heritage of Humanity granted by UNESCO in 1999, which revealed to the world an untouched landscape formed by baroque churches and colonial houses scattered along stone-paved streets illuminated by lanterns.
However, Diamantina unveiled many other charms. It showcased the lush frame formed by the Serra do Espinhaço, dotted with caves and waterfalls; and the tradition of cultural festivals, such as the serenades that gave rise to the region's most famous event, the Vesperata. Held on Saturday nights, the concert gathers a crowd on Quitanda street. On this occasion, the balconies of colonial houses are filled with musicians playing waltzes, boleros, sambas... it's impossible not to be moved.

It features beautiful natural sculptures and stalactites of various shapes on the cave ceiling. Discovered in 1825 by a local farmer, its use began as a shelter for prehistoric communities.
These communities did not habitually enter dark areas but used the cave entrances as protected areas. The existence of rock paintings and other archaeological remains are indicators of these uses.

Important Notes
The information below covers part of what is set out in our General Conditions. It is essential to read the entire document.
Withdrawals, Transfers and Cancellations by the client
The CONTRACTED PARTY shall refund the amount due to the Client, calculated on the total amount actually received by the Contractor, excluding the amount of commission withheld, which must be dealt with by the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.
in the event of any of the above occurring, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tour package, in the following proportion:
- When the withdrawal occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the date of departure of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
- When the withdrawal occurs between 29 (twenty-nine) and 21 (twenty-one) days before the date of departure: 15% (fifteen percent)

In addition to the fees and fines described above, the amounts already paid to suppliers to guarantee reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contractor is only an intermediary in the contracting of tourist services, being in temporary possession of the amounts received, because it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, sea and road transportation, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants and other contracted services.
For both road and air tours, it is not permitted to transfer dates or refund unused sections.
Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has begun, passengers who abandon it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for services paid for and not used.
