Topo do Mundo — Minas Gerais
Brazil is famous for incredibly rich deposits of raw materials and minerals. Brazil could be one of the richest countries in the world.
Well, but for the inept of national policy, Brazil is at the forefront of corrupt countries in the world, I could say that it leads on the list. It located in the first hundred countries.
Leaving aside these facts, we return to the wealth that cover up in Brazil.
I focus mainly on the state of Minas Gerias, because in this region I spent most of the time. In the state of Minas Gerais are precious stones and semi-precious stones (topazes, amethysts, opals, aquamarines, tourmaline, emeralds).
Brazil is the largest supplier of semi-precious stone onto the world market.
Gold so much desirable, most of this precious raw material was in Minas Gerais, exactly in the area of Ouro Preto. Additionally they are bring out platinum. The gold was taken by Portuguese to Portugal on the colonial time.
Huge deposits of iron ore have regions of Minas Gerais and Para in Brazil.
Topo do Mundo is part of the tourists place, where you can admire the magnificent scenery. Admire paragliding. You can walk in the mountains covered with iron. These mountains have a color of red, giving them a stunning look.
The most important is spend time together with family 🙂
