We will make photo stops in the most beautiful locations where we will continue to observe details uploaded from different locations around the world. At the top of the stairs we will photograph with a huge representation of the Brazilian flag in the background more than 6 meters wide. And we'll still have a nice art view from Lapa.

Compartilho uma experiência de saber ancestral. Sou Quinta Geração Produtora de Queijo Minas Artesanal da Região do Serro na minha Família, a primeira Mulher a tomar a frente e liderar. Produzo o Queijo Maria Nunes, premiado internacionalmente com duas medalhas de Prata no maior concurso de Queijo do mundo em Tours na França. Também temos 4 medalhas em mundiais que aconteceram em SP. Você vai viver uma experiência maravilhosa, produzindo Queijo de leite cru, assim como era feito a 300 anos pelos nossos ancestrais. Você irá vivenciar na pratica, desde a ordenha, com as vaquinhas e os bezerros, até a hora de colocar a mão na massa, produzindo seu próprio queijo e podendo leva-lo para casa. A Região do Serro é a mais antiga produtora de Queijo em MG, nos seus primórdios conhecida como a antiga Vila do Príncipe do Serro Frio, sede de uma das quatro primeiras comarcas da Capitania das Minas Gerais desde meados de 1702. Aqui produzimos queijos a mais de 300 anos. Nosso Modo de fazer o Queijo é considerado um patrimônio cultural imaterial brasileiro e tombado pelo Conselho Consultivo do Iphan. Nossa produção está localizada aos pés do Pico do Itambé, ponto mais altos da Serra do Espinhaço, no município de Santo Antônio do Itambé . Nessa experiencia também oferecemos o passeio em uma das várias cachoeiras existentes no município que é conhecido como a cidade das Águas.
