Workation in Ouro Preto: the essentials
Gold paid for the baroque churches of Ouro Preto, the former Vila Rica, which by the mid-18th century was among the most populous cities in Latin America and remained capital of Minas Gerais until 1897. Today the UNESCO World Heritage town in the Serra do Espinhaço belongs largely to students of the federal university, who live in shared houses called repúblicas and fill the bars, especially at Carnival. The steep cobbled streets are hard work on foot, and much of the old housing is damp. Aleijadinho's sculptures are its most famous art. Confins airport near Belo Horizonte is about 100 km away.
