Arcos
Arcos is a SUB AREA in Madrid, Madrid.
Nestled in the heart of Minas Gerais, Arcos is a charming colonial town that blends serene natural beauty with rich cultural heritage. Wander through cobblestone streets lined with pastel-colored houses and ornate baroque churches, then escape to the lush surrounding hills for hiking and waterfall spotting. The town’s tranquil pace invites you to savor local cuisine—try the famous pão de queijo and a hearty feijão tropeiro at a family-run restaurant.

Best time to visit Arcos
