Palácio Alvorada - The official`s President House |
The Brazilian
capital has always been among the main touristic destinations in the country. Classified
by Unesco as Cultural World Heritage, it welcomes more than a million visitors
each year. Brasília has also the largest area under governmental trust in the
world, with more than 100 km.
The Justice Palace |
But to
portray Brasília in only one post would be a difficult task. Let`s just attain
ourselves in the ingenious architectonical plan. We invite the visitor to focus
in the concrete poems sites, projected by Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa as a
way to show that are wonderful ways of realizing dreams.
The Best way
to know the town is by rented car. It is a pleasure to drive in the Brasilia
avenues, with the modern buildings and gardens along with panoramic views
ending in the horizon of the Brazil`s Central Plateau. The plants used in the landscape are native
and protected.
Many of the
attractions are along the Monumental Axle of the Plano Piloto (Pilot Plan) as
the urban perimeter is known. It has a shape of an airplane and can be seen at
the top of the TV Tower with 224 mts (closed Mondays).
Brasilia`s
Cathedral is one of the unique constructions. With a circumference of 70 mts
and pillars weighted 90 tons, it shelters sculptures in and outside offering
singular images.
The palaces
located at Praça dos Três Poderes (Three Powers Square) also have lofty and
modern shapes that caused amazement even in the astronaut Yuri Gagarin when
visiting the town.
Now, the
city have a new president, the first woman ever in Brazil. So the town was
renovated to welcome the new boss, so this may be the best time to visit
Brasilia.
We all hope
the same determination to Dilma Roussef and wish that she uses tourism as the
main tool to explore the Wonders of Brazil.
Happy New
Year to the World.
