Excellent day tour that includes a visit to the folkloric museum Casa do Pontal, Sitio Burle Marx, lunch at the Bahian open air restaurant, Bira and time for a swim or a walk along Grumari & Prainha, two of the city's loveliest beaches.
One of the most beautiful places I've ever visited in Brazil is the Roberto Burle Marx home and gardens outside Rio. Brazilians modernist lanscape architect, Burle Marx, bought the Santo Antonio da Bica sítio in Barra de Guaratiba in 1949 to store his plant collection. The sítio has a marvelous house and a small chapel that dates back to the 16th century. Both buildings were lovingly restored and Burle Marx lived there from 1973 until his death in 1994. In an area of approximately 100 acres, visitors can see more than 3, 500 species of plants, an extraordinary collection of religious images and pottery from the River Jequitinhonha Valley, and, of course, Burle Marx's own paintings. |
