Mauro

Mauro is a typical person from Minas Gerais and has managed to rent the rooms from his house little by little to tourists who are seeking simple and cheap accommodations.
Mauro was born in Milho Verde and loves the contact with the tourists. He could teach you a lot about the emergence of the district and its cultural manifestations, such as "Quilombo do Baú". He also supports the local traditions and folklore, loves holidays and parties. Ask Mauro about the folk traditions of Milho Verde and its symbolism.

His family is very mixed, from caboclos to Italians, so he appreciates the most varied cultures. He likes to cook and his specialty is the chicken in brown sauce. Make sure to taste his cooking skills.
