St. Hilary

Finally our long-waited holidays are coming and today I brought you a hint of a wonderful place.

I went there this last holiday and it is more beautiful than ever; St. Hilary.

St. Hilary is the only district of Pepper, the village has just over 100 inhabitants and is situated on the banks of the lake of Furnas.

Furnas Lake is the largest expanse of water of the State of Minas Gerais and one of the largest artificial lakes in the world, this is called “Sea of Minas Gerais”.

Historically, the region retains the memory of the indigenous tribes that lived there, the trails of the pioneers in search of gold, farms and secular rebels of the Quilombo, however, that story sank in February 1963, when the lake level rose by on houses, crops and even cities, changing the place definitely.  It also made that new villages were created, like St. Hilary which has beautiful scenery, as the old bridge of Saint-Hilary, beautiful waterfalls, cozy little bars and a lively and welcoming people.

This is a great option for relaxing, dating, boating in the waterfalls and enjoying the holidays in a quiet place with a wonderful scenery.

Happy holidays to all!

Kisses!
