About an hour southwest of Belo Horizonte near the town of Brumadinho is an incredible space called Inhotim. We spent our day there today and it blew our minds. It is described as an open-air museum in a botanical garden - and it is - but it's like a dozen botanical gardens and dozens of museums with unique art that captivates the mind and all of the senses plus a cage-free aviary. We weren't able to see all of the exhibits, or walk through all of the galeries, or enjoy all of the sculptures, or even swim in all of the pools but we did what we could in 8 hours. We walked on glass, and through manicured jungles and laid in dark rooms experiencing the art around us, we marveled, tripping without drugs, and saw toucans and smelled flowers and rested on pieces of impossible wood. It was simply fantastic. We don't think there is another place like it in the world and are wondering if it would be ridiculous to return to the area for no other reason than to visit inhotim one more time.
