Lucio Costa Stopovers Tour (5 hours)

Costa's plan encompasses four distinct zones: monumental, gregarious, residential, and bucolic.

Participants will commence at the Monumental Axis, where the city’s principal public buildings are situated. The exploration will then lead through the residential zones, showcasing the organized "superquadras," or large self-sufficient blocks. Following this, visitors will engage with the gregarious sector, which is vital for commercial and social interactions, before venturing into the bucolic area featuring green spaces in Brasilia.
