Helpfulness
Aluarte was a terrific discovery in Tiradentes. Viewed from outside it looks just like a antique house. When you pass by the long corridor, you get into a beautiful old fashionable bar, with a lot of ambience, decorated with old things and low lighting.
It’s a must see in Tiradentes.

Helpfulness
As we had a fairly large group, we were able to lease a train to Tiradentes on an off-season day. Within several minutes a few horse drawn carriages showed up and started to argue about who would get to take us through town.
The problem of course is that we left quickly thereafter on the train to return. It would have been wonderful to have more time to see this city. However, it is obvious that these horse carts are common, easy to obtain, and competitive price wise.
Don't worry about the contact information. They'll be there waiting for you.
