We will wake up very early but it will be worth every minute, as the fauna is more alive in the morning. Each day the experience will be unique, because the animals that will be in the place are always different and we never promise to see this or another animal or bird. Count on luck to see many animals. We will have the whole morning going around the Lagoon and stopping at the main attractions such as: São Francisco de Assis Church, Pampulha Art Museum, Casa de Baile, Casa Kubitschek Museum, Bandeirantes Lookout, Lagoa Dam.
