Lapinha Cave

Tue-Sun 8.30am-5pm

Reviewed By angelbeato03

This is a nice place to visit. You can know the history of the Caves and the rock formations. Only I don't really think it's worth it if you're far away. Like it's a really short visit. Less than an hour I would say in total.

Lagoa Central

Reviewed By Regina S

To walk around the lagoon is relaxing. And there is a family of capybaras that live there. It would be nice if there were more places to sit and enjoy the scenery.

Lagoa Santa Regional Archaeology Museum

Reviewed By ANTONIO F - Belo Horizonte, MG

É um museu em forma de castelo em frente a entrada da gruta da lapinha, onde tem fosseis, objetos arqueológicos e muitas fotos em um ambiente exótico e diferente. Vale a pena a visita e, claro, muitas fotos, dentro e fora do museu. A atração é paga mas não é caro e tem amplo estacionamento. Tem um bom restaurante próximo te também locais para lanches nas proximidades. Tem ônibus que leva ao local mas de carro os horários ficam mais maleáveis

Parque Estadual do Sumidouro

Reviewed By John D

Only guided trails are allowed. It's really close to the lapinha cave, so it's a good deal to buy both visits together.
The trail starts with a walk through Cerrado vegetation, so it's very dry unless you are visiting in January. You get a great view of the dried lake from the top, above some very tall trees, which is amazing. Lots of birds to see and some nests too. Then you go down to the bottom of the lake, where you can see some cave paintings. Trail then takes you back to the visitor center, a traditional house that serves as a small museum about a Bandeirante.

Museu Peter Lund

Reviewed By Pete J - Crystal Lake, Illinois

Very small exhibit with a couple dozen fossils. The rest of the park is very nice, but the museum has an "in-progress" feel to it, which I believe is the case. Based on the rest of the park, I would imagine that this will improve in the future. Not worth a trip just for the museum, but the rest of the park makes up for it.

Para quem conhece ou quer conhecer um pouco da Paleontologia regional e mundial, Dr Lund foi o melhor. Muito importante para a História mundial da Paleontologia.
