Paleontologists have discovered dinosaur skeletons in and around Uberaba, earning this highland city in Brazil's Minas Gerais state the nickname "The Land of Giants." Set on the Uberaba River — a name derived from the Tupi for "bright water" — the city is also a regional cultural centre for the Triângulo Mineiro area, with a sacred art museum housed in the Igreja de Santa Rita, a collection of theatres, and restaurants serving traditional Mineira cuisine.
