With some awesome road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Tiradentes, 35 miles away, has to offer. Forras Square, Saint John Evangelista Chapel and Saint Joseph Fountain alone make the drive out worth it. Juiz de Fora is another wonderful option. It’s 50 miles away and has a range of awesome things to do. Halfeld Park, Lajinha Park and Mariano Procopio Museum are only the start.
