Brazil

Passa Quatro, MG, Brasil- Circuito turistico Terras Altas da Mantiqueira


Luis writes: Passa Quatro is a small and historical city founded in 1760 due to the gold mining in this mountainous region of Minas Gerais province. The old railway travels along 110 km of mountains, tunnels and forests with beautiful scenario. The old locomotive called Maria Fumaça (Mary Smoke) still operates a touristic 45 km line running across valleys and extinct gold mines.

The card description says: Maria Fumaça of the Train of the Mantiqueira that makes the passage between Passa Quatro and the Mantiqueira tunnel. Operates Sat, Sun, and holidays.
