Juiz de Fora trip planner

Conveniently located between three of the biggest cities in Brazil, Jui de Fora--or simply "JF" to locals--served as an important stop on the road between Rio de Janeiro and the gold rush towns of Minas Gerais. Since its inception as a city in 1850, Juiz de Fora has ridden the ups and downs of the Brazilian economy. For a time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries it was one of the richest cities in the country, but the Great Depression devastated the largely industrial metropolis. Today the city is known for its rich cultural diversity.
