Introduction

Come along with us on this whirlwind journey as we navigate the urban jungle and cultural hub that is Brasília in just three days. Prepare to be awed by astonishing landmarks, energized by the diverse Brazilian cuisine, and sweep off your feet by its fascinating history.

Day 1 - Getting the lay of the land

We'll hit the vibrant streets just after breakfast, first absorbing the energy of the capital at Praça dos Três Poderes where you can admire impressive modernist architecture. Next, we saunter over to Palácio do Planalto, a symbol of the country's political might and a sight to behold. By mid-afternoon, we're off to the Catedral Metropolitana where its unique design will leave you gasping. Round off your busy day with a gorgeous sunset view at the Pontão do Lago Sul. A perfect spot to unwind and process the architectural marvels of your first day. Dinner is at the beachfront, beneath the stars, where you'll taste the flavors of Brazil. Exciting, huh?

Day 2 - Dive into the art and culture of Brasília

Wake up full of gusto as today begins at the Museu Nacional, a treasure trove of Brazilian art that's an architectural piece of art in itself. Are you a bibliophile? You'll love our next stop at the Biblioteca Nacional. Post-lunch, the biggest show of the day awaits you at the Estádio Nacional, an iconic football stadium. Our Day 2 finale is a moonlit stroll through Sarah Kubitschek Park, under twinkling Southern Hemisphere stars. Surely, today had a wonderful mix of culture, arts, and sports, isn't it?

Day 3 - Touch the Heart of Brazil

Last day, make it count! Fuel up your morning with local coffee and bread before visiting the Memorial JK, a tribute to Brazil's visionary president. Our mid-day treat, watch and learn capoeira at Feira de Artesanato da Torre de TV, also a great place for souvenir hunting. Lunch will be served at a local gem where the feijoada is the talk of the town. Finish off your journey at Paranoá Lake, a perfect spot for boating and admiring the sunset over the city that's now holding a piece of your heart. Did you ever imagine such a varied and rich itinerary? Neither did we until we dove deep into the offerings of Brasília!
