SABARA lies strung out over a series of hills, wound around the Rio das Velhas. Many of its cobbled streets are so steep they have to be taken slowly, but ascents are rewarded with gorgeous churches, austere on the outside, choked with carving and ornamentation inside. Sabara's proximity to Belo Horizonte would make it the ideal base for seeing the metropolis, but for its lack of accommodation. Fortunately, the frequency of the bus link (every 15min from 4am to midnight) makes it an easy - and unmissable - day-trip from the Belo Horizonte: catch the red #5509 bus on Rua dos Caetes one block up from Avenida Afonso Pena. Start early and avoid Monday when most sights are closed.
