Amendoim Street |
Amendoim Street is part of the folklore of Belo Horizonte and ended up becoming
a tour attraction due to a curious phenomenon. Nobody knows exactly the motive why this happen, but the fact is that every car parked in the
slope goes up, instead of going down, as it should go. The same happens when water is poured in the street, instead of going down, it takes
the inverse way and goes up.
There are people defending the thesis that it’s an optic illusion. They say that
the lower part of the street is, in truth, the highest point. But there’s no confirmation. Rua do Amendoim has the official name of Professor
Otávio Magalhães and is close to Praça do Papa. |
