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 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 have the habit of entering dark areas but used the cave entrances as protected areas. The existence of rock paintings and other archaeological remains are indicators of these uses. The Gruta de Maquiné has approximately 650 meters of galleries and seven explored and prepared halls with lighting and walkways, allowing visitors to safely admire the wonders of Maquiné, where the entire route is accompanied by a local guide.

Cancellations, Transfers, and Customer Cancellations
The CONTRACTED PARTY will reimburse the Contractor the amount due, calculated on the total actually received by the Contracted Party, excluding the amount of the commission retained, which should be dealt with the Travel Agent, as well as administrative fees and amounts already paid to suppliers.
In the occurrence of any of the mentioned hypotheses, the following administrative fees will be deducted from the total amount charged for the tourist package, in the following proportion:
- When the cancellation occurs 30 (thirty) days or more before the departure date of the trip: 10% (ten percent)
- When the cancellation occurs 29 (twenty-nine) to 21 (twenty-one) days before the departure date of the trip: 15% (fifteen percent)

In addition to the fees and penalties described above, amounts already paid to suppliers for securing reservations, duly proven, will be deducted as expenses, since the Contracted Party is only an intermediary in the hiring of tourist services, holding the received amounts temporarily, as it depends on third parties for the effective execution of these services, such as air, maritime, and road transport, as well as accommodation, reception, restaurants, and other contracted services.
For both road and air excursions, date transfers or refunds for unused segments will not be allowed.
Trip abandonment - Once the excursion has started, the passenger who abandons it for any reason will not be entitled to any refund for paid and unused services.
