Capela Do Bom Jesus das Cabeças ou De São Miguel E Almas
Walk up to the Capela Do Bom Jesus das Cabeças ou De São Miguel E Almas. Enter the church to see the Aleijadinho entranceway and the paintings by Manoel da Costa Ataíde. Sit quietly in the nave as the light begins to shift through the windows.

Step out onto the church steps or the immediate exterior. Watch the sun dip toward the WSW. The stone facade and the surrounding hills catch the final warm glow before the sky turns blue.

Head down to Acaso 85. It is a welcoming basement bar near Igreja do Rosário. Order a drink or some mineira food to settle in as the evening air cools down.
