This trip is not as advertised - beware! It’s barely 2 hours (not 4) and the museum isn’t even open. Being able to visit the church depends on the schedule of worship services and is not communicated clearly by the tour company. Even though it says the tour starts at 9am, depending on where (hotel) you have them pick you up, will determine the time and may not be communicated to you unless you ask. The lady giving the tour was nice and informative but it’s definitely not worth the $50 they charge.

Me parecio precioso Pampulha con todos los edificios de Oscar Niemeyer. La iglesia de San Francisco muy espectacular.
-
Bella iglesia por su arquitectura y diseño, al lado de un hermoso y parque vale la pena visitar, muy agradable para salir de la enorme ciudad y relajarse un poco
-
A orla da Lagoa da Pampulha é um lugar mágico, agradável, inspirador... Enfim é muito prazeroso andar pela história e imaginar como foi quando a lagoa ainda era usada para se refrescar.

Muito bonita a igreja, com suas arquitetura arredondada. Um lugar recomendado para conhecer em BH. Local privilegiado pela Lagoa da Pampulha. Infelizmente no mês de Abril/18 quando fui visitá-la estava fechada para reforma interna. Mas por fora é muito bela.
