City of Belo Horizonte


So the city of Belo Horizonte will be my destination for my CSC trip and my home for the month I'll be spending in Brazil.

Belo Horizonte means 'Beautiful Horizon' in Portuguese.



Its Brazil's third largest city with almost 2.5 million inhabitants and is located on the eastern side of the country, north of Rio de Janeiro. It is the capital of the state of Minas Gerais.


Further facts and figures can be found here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belo_Horizonte

I'm still doing some investigation on the city, its culture, its heritage etc and will add to this brief outline later!
