Muito emocionante conhecer a casa e saber um pouco mais da vida e da rotina do amado Chico Xavier... Além de conhecer a casa onde morou e sua mobília, todas as paredes contam mais sobre a história do Chico através de fotos, mensagens e outras coisas interessantes como quadros, artigos e curiosidades como o quadro do RG do Chico. Todos muito atenciosos e prestativos. Esse muse o não cobrá entrada, mas aceitam doações voluntárias para ajudar com as despesas. Na entrada da casa montaram uma livraria e andando por lá sempre está o Eurípides, filho do Chico que mora lá até hoje. Fomos pra lá só para visitar esse local e valeu muito a pena.See more..

We was travelling around Brazil for the World Cup and whilst staying in Belo Horizonte, we popped over to Ouro Preto. I noticed this place on the way with its American school buses and a small Christ the redeemer statue. I made a note to pop in on the drive back. What a good decision this was. This place is just jaw dropping. The collection of memorabilia, art, books and general old stuff is staggering. Many things I used to own in my younger days and so on. We spent a couple of hours taking everything in and has to be one of my favourite moments during our one month stay in Brazil. I don't know who the owner is but I would like to say Thank you for sharing your collection and letting us wonder freely around this awesome place you have.See more..

A antiga estação de trem de São Lourenço que no passado servia de ligação com Pindamonhangaba e acesso a antiga Central do Brasil.

Quando se chega à estação de trem, se vê uma placa dizendo:"Bem-vindos à casa onde nasci" e uma foto bem apagada do inventor. É assim que está a casa de Santos Dumont: bem apagada. O trem de passageiros não funciona mais; o museu está fechado;o Demoiselle trancafiado. Só restaram algumas lembranças. Achei interessante o chuveiro de água quente e muitas fotos do inventor. Mesmo assim, vale à pena conhecer. Custo: R$ 2,00 por pessoa. Coordenadas: -21.425500, -43.673080See more..
4.0Casa Pele(89 reviews) - Interesting and very humble Speciality Museums
We visited Pelé's house on our way to Belo Horizonte (World Cup Game Brasil 1 x Germany 7). It was very interesting visit. Free admission and spotless place. Museum personnel did not speak English, but were out of this world helpful, friendly and tried very hard to show the house to us. They pointed to the boards explanation on the walls of each room that are in English and were willing to assist us with pictures on the outside premisses. Inside photos are not allowed and they were very sweet on the way they explained it. They were very glad to see that I spoke Portuguese and could translate to my friends all that they were explaining to me and others at the house. After that a ton of extra information was offered about the house, people that lived there and Pele's history. Your visitation will take the most 20 minutes. Make sure your have a well printed road way or web maps on how to get there. Pele's House is not at GPS points of interest and the locals could not explain us very well on how to get there. We drove in circles for while till a Taxi Diver told us on how to get there. It is wheel chair accessible using the walk side entrance, and baby strollers are accepted inside as well. If you visit during november... visit the trees outside and enjoy a little bit of Jabuticaba (Brasilian fruit) it is very sweet. Enjoy your visit. I will be back!See more..
Local de muita paz e tranqüilidade. Vale a pena sentar nos bancos ao lado do Templo e contemplar a bela arquitetura e flores q cercam o local.
