Located 90 km south of Diamantina, Serro is another small colonial town surrounded by hills. Like beautiful Diamantina, it lies on the Caminho dos Diamantes and the Estrada Real, the legacy of the mines that attracted the Paulist bandeirantes in the 18th century. Away from the gold route, further south, Serro is much quieter than Ouro Preto. Here, you can taste the peaceful flavour of inland Minas Gerais. The churches may not have the beauty of the wonders of Ouro Preto's old Vila Rica, but they give the town an almost sacred atmosphere. For many Mineiros, Serro is one of the most authentic towns in Minas Gerais.
