13 days in Brasilia Itinerary

Although it lacks the cultural flair of Rio de Janeiro and the massive urban sprawl of Sao Paulo, Brasilia holds a fascinating place in the tapestry of Brazil.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Brasilia: Flona - Floresta Nacional de Brasilia (in Taguatinga) and Casa Dom Inacio de Loyola (in Abadiania). There's lots more to do: admire the landmark architecture of Catedral Metropolitana, get a sense of history and politics at Congresso Nacional, stroll around Parque da Cidade Sarah Kubitschek, and take in the spiritual surroundings of Santuario Dom Bosco.
