Andrelândia

Andrelândia is a municipality in southern Minas Gerais that spreads across hilly terrain set between mountains and valleys. It is home to around 12,500 people in the South Minas Gerais mesoregion.

The settlement began in the 1700s when gold mining activities attracted people to the area and a small chapel was built. This chapel became the foundation around which the municipality gradually developed.

Religious traditions shape daily life here, with annual celebrations like the Feast of Saint Sebastian and Corpus Christi bringing communities together throughout the year.

The municipality's website provides access to public services and administrative information for residents and visitors. Digital platforms make it straightforward to find government information and local guidance.

Rock paintings in the Serra de Santo Antonio hills show evidence of human presence thousands of years before the municipality was founded. These ancient artworks reveal a much older history of settlement in this region.
