Besides the capital, the Federal District has other lovely attractions, mainly natural ones. The Cerrado, the predominant vegetation, is cut by rivers and beautiful waterfalls.
In the surroundings of Brasília, there are also numerous farm-hotels where you can relax and enjoy horseback riding, river bathing and the typical cuisine of the region, which is composed of most Brazilian delicacies.
One of the most beautiful spectacles of the Federal District is the sunset. Be sure to enjoy it.
