12 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: Casa Dom Inacio de Loyola (in Abadiania), Brazlandia (Santuario Menino Jesus & Chapada Imperial) and Igreja Nossa Senhora Da Penha De Franca (in Corumba de Goias). Next up on the itinerary: contemplate in the serene atmosphere at Catedral Metropolitana, get engrossed in the history at Memorial JK, don't miss a visit to Torre de Televisao, and get a sense of history and politics at Congresso Nacional.

Expect a daytime high around 35°C in September, and nighttime lows around 19°C. Wrap up your sightseeing on the 28th (Sat) to allow time to travel back home.
