Introduction
Embark on a unique experience that combines gastronomy, history, and music in the Espinhaço mountains, in the heart of Minas Gerais. Over three days, you will get to know the artisanal Minas cheese from Serro up close — an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Brazil and UNESCO — explore the beautiful colonial historic center of the city, and be moved by the Bolerata, an outdoor musical spectacle that enchants everyone who passes by.
Serro is one of the best-preserved historical cities in Minas Gerais, founded in the 18th century during the gold cycle. Its colonial architectural ensemble, baroque churches, and cobblestone streets tell stories of a glorious past. The city holds a centuries-old tradition in the production of artisanal Minas cheese, recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Brazil and listed by UNESCO.
At night, the city comes alive with the Bolerata — an outdoor musical spectacle that transforms the historic streets of Serro into a unique stage, bringing together musicians and visitors in a celebration of culture and Minas identity. A trip made for those who value culture, tradition, gastronomy, and truly unforgettable moments.
