Belo Vale

Belo Vale is a municipality in Minas Gerais located in the Brazilian savanna region south of Belo Horizonte. The area spreads across rolling hills and farmland with grassland and scattered trees typical of the region.

The municipality was officially established in 1938, marking the start of structured local government in this part of Minas Gerais. Since then, it has developed into an agricultural center focused on regional production.

Local farmers organize regular markets where you can see regional crops and livestock being traded, creating gathering places for the community to connect and do business together.

The best time to visit is during harvest season when local markets are most active and you can see agricultural work in progress. Expect rural roads and infrastructure typical of smaller Brazilian towns when planning your visit.

The municipality contains the small settlement of Noiva do Cordeiro, which attracts attention due to its distinctive demographic structure. Visitors interested in alternative community living arrangements can find an interesting example of how this plays out in practice.
