Brasília's City Park is near our home and consists of 420 hectares set aside for barbecuing, cycling, running, and amusement. It is reputably one of the largest public parks in all of Latin America. If you compare it with New York's Central Park (320 hectares), it is remarkably bigger. There is a stage for concerts and an artificial lake as well as an amusement park. The architecture, landscaping, and art are by some of the founding fathers of Brasília -- Lucia Costa, Oscar Neimeyer, and Burle Marx. My favorite Brasília-esque detail? The iconic tiles on the bathrooms, below, by the well-known Athos Bulcão.
