Chapada Imperial

For a taste of the spectacular landscape of the Planalto Central and the cerrado, drive about an hour northwest along the DF001 and the DF220 until you reach the privately owned Chapada Imperial ranch. Owners Márcio and Marta organize guided tours to a series of stunning waterfalls, on which you'll see an extraordinary range of birds, butterflies, and even deer.

Ermida Dom Bosco

Lago Sul

To view the best sunset in town, head to the Ermida Dom Bosco, in a peaceful setting by the southern shores of Lake Paranoá. There's a small shrine to Dom Bosco, but most people come here to walk, run, swim in the lake, or just watch the sunset with friends.
