Sacramento

Sacramento is a municipality in Minas Gerais in southeastern Brazil with around 7,000 residents spread across gently rolling landscape. The town center clusters around a small church, while residential areas and shops arrange themselves in a quiet, unhurried way.

The municipality originated in the late 17th century during the gold rush phase in Minas Gerais, when prospectors explored the region. Later, the economy shifted from mining to farming, which explains the current presence of farms and livestock raising.

The Fest de São Sebastião brings the town together annually, with residents joining traditional processions and sharing regional dishes. The celebration shows how faith and local identity remain closely connected here.

The town is reachable via state highways from larger neighboring towns and has a network of local paved roads. Visitors find simple accommodations and restaurants in the center, and there is adequate parking for cars.

Nearby springs and streams have been used by residents for generations and remain important to daily life. These water sources are popular spots for walking and gathering, woven into local routines.
