Ouro Preto MG video 2 - Minas de ouro pra visitar, onde comer, e o passado de escravidão na cidade

In Ouro Preto there are thousands of gold mines. Yes, I said thousands! And do you know where these mines are? Below our feet! Underneath the streets where we walk, there are dozens of tunnels and galleries, the city is a true Swiss cheese. Of these thousands of gold mines, only 7 or 8 are open to visitors, and are part of the past of this historic city and strongly linked to the period of slavery, which marked the city in the 18th century, during the gold cycle. Some mines that can be visited are: old palace mines Mine do Chico Rei Santa Rita Mine, which has the amazing guide Jefferson, very humorous and who knows everything about the past of slavery in the gold mines. Du Veloso Mine Jeje Mine Among others...
