Itauna accommodation from NZ$66

Once you have explored Itauna, you could set out to discover more of the Minas Gerais area. Check out the old towns, cathedrals and art museums in Minas Gerais, or grab your daypack and admire the area's rivers, mountains, cliffs and valleys. Adventurous types may also try rock climbing in this part of Brazil.

Before your Itauna trip comes to an end, why not spend an hour or two rubbing shoulders with Southeast Region sports fans at a local sporting fixture? You'll find Mineirao Stadium 70 kilometres to the east of Itauna. Stay close to the action at the Ouro Minas Palace Hotel or the Bristol La Place.

Travellers arriving or departing through Tancredo Neves International Airport might like to book a bed at the Comfort Hotel Confins or the Prodigy Hotel Confins International, both of which are conveniently located nearby.
