Journey through Brazil, Argentina, and Chile with Johnny Morris
'The hills around Ouro Preto are still rich in minerals, but the mineral we crave, the one we fight and kill each other for, is no longer here.'
Johnny visits three of the most contrastecrareas of Brazil. From the striking and sometimes sensational forms of the new federal capital to the 18th-century colonial mining town on the steep hills of Ouro Preto - a name which means 'Black Gold'-he moves south to Sao Paulo, the biggest city in South America and eighth largest in the world. Here, it is claimed, some 64 new buildings are completed every day.
