Ruins of the old neighborhood Luís dos Santos - Remaining buildings of the mining in Igatu village.

Hello!

 

For those unaware : The village of Igatu at the time the mining of diamonds, had a population of more than ten thousand inhabitants. Today there are just over 300 people.

That golden age , left only ruins of houses and buildings made , for the most part , by slaves . Everywhere you go, there's old building or piece of it . The Royal Road which connects the village to the Mucugê municipality is an example.  

 

In this post , I will show the region of Igatu more ruins : the neighborhood Luis dos Santos.  

 

► How to Get There :   Leaving the Igatu Center Square.   >

 

 Just ask , to anyone , where is the Church of San Sebastian or the art gallery and Memory. Everyone knows. From there , just follow the trail that leads to Andaraí and ready . It takes no more than 15 minutes. It's an easy way but downhill a bit steep and without shade.
