Juiz de Fora

The landscape around Juiz de Fora is defined by forested, rolling hills in Minas Gerais’s Zona da Mata, which have shaped both the city’s spread and its economic life. The Paraibuna River runs through this important regional centre, which developed in the 19th century as coffee production and textile manufacturing expanded. Industrial heritage remains part of its identity: the Marmelos hydroelectric plant began operating in 1889 and powered local factories. Museu Mariano Procópio preserves collections associated with Brazil’s imperial period in an estate that includes a historic villa.
