NieDodatkowe informacje
The old Minas de São Domingos are a kind of open-air museum which you can visit for free. It looks like a set from a science fiction film. There are information signs in Portuguese and English in various places to give you more background information about the metals in the ground and the mining village. A walking route of 14 kilometers has also been set out, where you can see everything that has to do with the mine. If that's too much for you, you can also suffice with just the ruins at São Domingos, where most of them can be seen.
The main mine shaft is more than clearly recognizable. The shaft has now filled with water, creating a kind of lake. Around the lake you see types of stone in all kinds of colors and the water itself also looks a bit atypical. The water is heavily contaminated by sulfuric acid. Wooden paths have been constructed along part of the lake, so you can view the water and the colored stone up close.
Next to the lake are the ruins of the old mining village. In the ghost town you can still see the remains of old houses, a chimney, the loading platform of the station, the old offices and more. There are always signs next to the ruins to indicate what once stood here, so that the place really comes to life.
