Historical center of the town of Goiás

Registered in the List of Patrimonies of the Humanity in 2001. It arose like a small village in the margins of the River To see it to me, initially call Santa Ana. The governor of Sao Paulo, chose, in 1739, as he soothes of the instituted region to have a better control of the gold mines, since the paulistas bandeirantes that had arrived years back, disputed the appraised metal… The small town of gold orerators was transformed into administrative town and received the name of Villa Boa of Goyás. In 1748 Captainship of Goiás was named, becoming the town small capital. More ahead he was Luis gives Cunha Meneses to whom it must to great part of works and structuring as at the moment we know Goiás or Goiás Velho, as also is known it, name that has its origin in the Indians goyazes, its old inhabitants. Located in the State of Goiás.

In 1937 the city of Goiás stops being soothes of the political power of the state, which is transferred to Goiânia, the present capital.

Historical center of Goias Velho

The big rambling houses, chapels and churches reveal the years in which the city lived the height of the operation on gold. Their calm streets maintain the stone pavement original and historical buildings of century XVIII teach a colonial architecture in which simplicity with few influences of the baroque one prevails. The city allows that it makes contact with enemy with history. It is enough to walk by the streets, to enter the churches, to admire the old constructions, to go away to the house where more illustrious inhabitant, Coralline the Cora poetess lived his, or to know the Museu it give Bandeiras. In candies and the religious manifestations such as the impressive Procissão do Fogaréu of the Easter.

The city of Goiás also represents the evolution of a form of representative urban and architectonic structure of the colonization of South America, that used the materials and techniques available totally, within an exceptional landscape and conserved enough.

Recommended visits and activities:

Churches: they are almost all of century XVII and reveal style simplicity. The Church gives Boa Morte (1779) is the unique one that presents/displays typical elements of the baroque one in the facade. It gathers the Museum gives Sacred Art, emphasizing the images of Veiga Valley, the sculptor of the premises, that lived in century XIX. We also recommend the views to the churches of São Francisco de Paula (1761), N.S do Carmo (1786), Our Lady of the Abbey (1790), erected by slaves in 1790, with a painted altar of blue and gold, and the one of Santa Barbara (1780).          


Museums and historical constructions: Museu gives Bandeiras, constructed in 1761, that exhibits objects used in the exploration of gold. The Palace Count two Arcs (1755), where there is a museum, was constructed to accommodate the governor of the captainship. Other significant constructions are the Quartel do XX (1747), the House do Bispo and the chafarices of Boa Morte and the Lake give From Rio de Janeiro.           

House of Coralline Cora: he is casarón where it lived the famous poetess and dulcera (since towards flavorful candies that soon sold to survive), is in the bridgehead on the Vermelho river. She is one of the first constructions of Goiás, typical residence of the century XVIII that has inspired some of its poems. In a part of the house a small museum was mounted that homenajea most famous of the daughters of Goiás.
Other visits: Sant'Ana school: founded on 1879 by the Dominican brothers and House it gives Fundição, dated in 1752, where the extracted gold of the mines was fused.

Registered in the List of Patrimonies of the Humanity in 2001. The Closed one constitutes the second major bioma of the geotrópicas regions and includes an area of two million km2, which supposes an equal area to all Western Europe. It is located in the Central Planalto of Brazil. Its ecosystem is compared to the one of the amazonian forest, in terms of biodiversity, and much more rich that the other savannahs of the planet. Do Sul is in the States of Goiás and Mato Grosso.

He is one of the oldest ecosystems of the South-American continent. For a long time it was seen like a “empty space�, but not only it is an area of enormous ecological importance, but it has many places of spectacular beauty.

The Closed one is a formation of very old vegetation and some scientists even suggest could have existed in a prototype form before the separation between Suramérica and Africa. What yes it is certain is that there was a dynamic interaction between the Closed one and the tropical forest during the age of the ice.

The climate in the Closed one is subtropical and continental: rainy of October to dry March and in other months of the year.

The densidad and the composition of the vegetation of the Closed one depend on the interaction between the conditions of the ground, the precipitation landlords, the altitude, the proximity of the rivers and the underground water availability. The natural fire is also an important factor. This complex interaction does of Closed a charming mosaic of landscapes that go from the dry and dense tropical forests (“cerradão�), until cleared meadows (“clean fields�), growing in well drained deep grounds and of the Brazilian central plateaus.

The springs of many of the main rivers of Brazil - with the remarkable exception of the Amazon, they are possible to be found in the plateaus of the Closed one.

By their antiquity and interaction with the tropical forest, the Closed one is considered the richest savannah of the world by virtue of the great diversity and endemismo of high plants. Esteem that has 10,000 species of plants, with more of endemic 40%, among them many grass.

The flora of the Closed one, quite old, highly diversified and with high levels of endemismo. The clean fields have exclusively crawling vegetal cover, with their ebullient pulses and grass. As the ground improvement acaules arises palms and small twisted trees. Little by little that landscape gives rise the closed ones, with greater densidad of twisted trees, thick crust carved and heavy and fleshy leaves: The best grounds sustain the dense bushes of gallery of the closed one, where trees of almost straight trunk and high glasses grow, covered by a plot of cipés preventing the penetration of the light.

Like any savannah, the ecosystem of the Closed one has adapted to the fires that take place. The trees have resistant crusts to the fire and many plants have deep roots allow that them to resurge of ashes.

The list of birds of the Closed one is extensive, very varied and includes more than 800 species. The typical typical great birds of the Closed one are the great ñandú and chuña of red legs. Many they appear in other ecosystems, but this one is not the case of rare birds like the Brazilian serreta and churrín of Brasilia.

For the majority of the great South-American mammals, the Closed one is a very important habitat. This includes the elegant wolf of horsehair, the impressive giant armadillo, the giant anteater, tapir, several species of red deers and felines like jaguars and pumas. The monkeys as titíes and the howling black also can be found in the areas of denser vegetation.

Very visible in the Closed one they are the knolls of thermites and cutting ants of leaves. The thermites and the ants are not only food for many animal, but also responsible for the re-engineering of the landscape, providing new opportunities for the plants.

There are many fascinating destinies in the Brazilian Closed one. Besides the fauna very varied, also they impress the uneven landscapes, old cliffs and high high cascades. The variety of the vegetation also will surprise: the pretty paths, gardens of many colorful wild flowers and kitchen gardens of small trees that produce exotic fruits.

Plated the two Veadeiros is the highest point of the state of Goiás, considered like a true paradise. It is located in the municipality of High Paradise and the entrance to the park is next to the São town Jorge, to about 250 km of the federal capital, Brasilia. The landscape presents/displays magnificent valleys, populated rivers, cascades, guns and mountains, in addition, of one riquísima fauna.

The vegetation enough is varied and includes forests of shore, arboreal savannahs and grasses. There are also gallery forests, where species like lapacho can be found pink (tabebuia impetiginosa), copaiba or copayero, false, tembetarí pimentero (fagara rhoifolia), palm pindó (syagrus romanzoffiana), burití palm, babasú palm, and more than 25 types of orchids. 

Also the Plated one is very well-known by the rock crystal presence that arises of the ground between the beautiful flora of the zone. According to the esoteric people, it is of of those crystals of where the special energy of the place emanates.

The region also includes the important Plated the two National Park of Veadeiros, created in 1961, of 65 515 you have of surface. Besides the flora characteristic of the Brazilian arboreal savannah, the park is the habitat of a great amount of threatened species of extinction, like the deer of Pampas, the red deer of the pantanal, yaguareté or jaguar, the wolf of horsehair, the common ñandú, chuña of red legs, the Brazilian rabbit, the tatú cart, the anteater, the capybara, tapir, the toucan of sulciform tip, the real vulture and zamuro black.    

 
Recommended visits and activities in Plated the two Veadeiros:

Cascade of the Preto river: it is a jump of 80 ms. The long walk until the place is of about 6 km, on the inside of Plated the two the National Park of Veadeiros. It is possible to be swum in the lake located in the base of the cascade. The return is in ascent reason why the visitor must have certain physical training.

Tube 2 and From Rio de Janeiro: one arrives after a easy way from about 4 km, bordering some streams. But the beauty of the flowers of the savannah reward the long walk. The tube second forms due to the narrowing of the Preto river that finishes in a beautiful cascade. More ahead is the cascade From Rio de Janeiro where it is possible to be swum.

Rodoviária cascade: it is a small intermittent stream, of free access, at which it is arrived after one short long walk.

Viewpoint of Dois Jumps: this footpath difficult, since it demands a certain effort and physical training of the visitor, although is compensated by the magnificent view of two cascades of the Preto river.

Carrossel: physical training is in the high part of the jump of 80 M.s excellent Exige and adventure spirit because it is precise to cross guns to I swim, to crawl by a crack between rocks, to walk 22 km. The duro effort is compensated by the great amount of swimming pools and the spectacular landscape of the place.

Almécegas cascades: it is located in the property São Bento. The Almécega second is recommended for those to which they like to swim.

Cascade São Bento: one is in territories of the property São Bento. In the lake that forms they dispute championships of aquatic pole.

Bond gives Lua: it is acceded to the valley of the Moon by the way that goes towards São Jorge (GO-327), following the signals indicating is arrived easily. Given the rocky formation produced by the erosion brought about by the river, the place is resembled a lunar landscape, and due to it, it took that name. Pretty natural swimming pools exist that form in the depressions of the land and small grottos. Not less beautiful, but completely different, it is the garden. In addition, the rocks centellean in full moon-lits night. The long walk is easy and lasts about 20 minutes.

Abyss: it counts on great and small cascades with several swimming pools of hidromasaje. Pleasant long walk of about 40 minutes from “discopuerto� (one says that it is an airport of ufos) with panoramic view of the way to Hills.

Raizaza: after a long walk of 15 minutes it is arrived at these beautiful cascades. The place also offers, in its cliffs, stimulating challenges to the lovers of rappel or autodescenso. Jorge is to 3.5 km of São, by highway GO-327.

Maytrea garden: with fields of flowers, surrounded footpaths and palmares of mountains, a true delight for which appreciates the nature.

 
The National Park gives to Esmas or the National Park of the Ñandúes, as also it is known him, in the State of Goiás, has like great attraction a steep landscape characteristic of the plated ones, besides a fauna of easy observation.

Recommended visits and activities in the National Park give Esmas:

The flora: there is almost all closed type of existing in Brazil: closed, “cerradões� (vegetation of transition between closed and the floresta), the clean fields, the dirty fields, florestas the ciliary florestas or of galleries and the paths, with great abundance of buritis in the heads of the rivers and streams.          

The fields of pulses, that get to reach two meters of height, occupy 60% of the area of the Park. In the stretches of closed typical, the mainmasts can present/display of four to five meters of height.

The fauna: frequently ñandúes, wolves, anteaters, sariamas, deer, red deers and birds of prey can be seen, like the racially mixed sparrowhawk and acauán. With a certain degree of luck, they are possible also to be seen feline. In addition the presence of animal groups is common like pigs of the floresta, capybaras, macacos, red deer-country and ostriches. Also are animal that walk together in smaller number, like the bear-anthill-flag, vixens, elk, armadillos, snakes, sariamas, sparrowhawks, lechuzas, curiangos and panthers. Some animal can be seen that are threatened of extinction, like the armadillo-basket, wolf-guará, bear-anthill-small puppy-do-kill-vinegar and.

The best time for its visit is the dry station, between April and October. In the spaces of denser vegetation they are possible still to be observed mutuns and toucans, besides primates like bugio and macaco-prego Serpents of great size, like the anaconda and the boa, are in abundance.

Hydric wealth: the limit the west of the Park agrees with the great water splitter between three important hydrographic river basins: the Amazonian River basin, to the North; the Platina River basin, to the South; and the River basin of the Pantanal, to the West. The rivers Formoso and Jacuda bathe with their bluish waters that, so clean and clear, allow the visualization of stones and the subaqueous forest, result of the good penetration of solar rays in the water. In some places, its depth reaches four meters.           

The termiteros: in the Park it is the greater concentration of termiteros by square meter anywhere in the world. The meeting of termiteros of different colors, following the ground in which they are, can reach up to two meters of height. In the beginning of the rainy period they present/display the phenomenon of the bioluminiscence. It consists of the irradiation of blue-verdeada fluorescent light, produced by small larvae that are there in search of foods, offering a gorgeous spectacle. The thermites are the base would feed on the anteaters. In the termiteros, several birds and small animal make their nests.

Area of conservation of the Pantanal

Registered in the List of Patrimonies of the Humanity in the year 2000. Thousands the total area is of 230 kms2, including 12 municipalities of the States of I kill Grosso and Mato Grosso do Sul. To the North, they are the two mountain ranges Paracis, Blue and do Snoring. To the east, the Mountain range of Maracaju. To the South, the Mountain range gives Bodoquena. And, to the West, marshes Paraguayan and Bolivian.

Pantanal

The Pantanal constitutes the greater fresh water continuous easily flooded system of world and one of the most productive ecosystems of wild life of the planet. That mixture of flora and fauna, together with aquatic means, is the one that produces the fantastic wealth of species and biological and ecological processes by all their extension.

It can be considered, therefore, a great internal delta, where the waters of the Paraguay Stop and those of a great number of rivers are accumulated that lower of the Planalto. Through Paraguay river, the Pantanal intimately is bound to the great river basin of the river Parana-river of the Silver. However, aquatic connections with amazonian affluents exist to the north of the Pantanal diffuse, especially with the Guaporé river.

The drainage of this internal delta by the Paraguay means, by means of the narrow and smooth bar of Cierre of the Noses do Sul, takes control of much difficulty. Nevertheless, enormous amounts of water suspended behind this prey make of the Pantanal, denominated stopped and current, temporary or permanent an unforseeable water labyrinth with a great amount of specific terms by hombrepantaneiro. In the indigenous legend and the first maps, the Pantanal is remembered like a great lake populated with islands, the “two sea Xaraiés�, since by equivocal the first Spanish travellers, believed to see in the immense plain a lagoon in which was born the Paraguay River, the Pantanal was only understood like a filed area of flood of a same river, in the middle of century XVIII. In the last decades, bioma of the Pantanal was protected by the distance that separates of the great consuming centers and by the lack of infrastructure of energy and transport, that delayed their more intensive economic operation. This situation explains its exuberance in the flora and fauna. As point of contact of biomas very diverse: the one of Amazonia, the Closed one, the Chaco and Atlantic Mata; the Pantanal can reunite, from amazonian aquatic plants, like the vitória-regal one, to the typical espineros and mandacarús of the semi-arid one.

In the very rainy years, the Paraguay river expands in a strip of up to 20 km in width, invading the Great Lakes of the Bolivian border and the island of Caracará, regenerating temporarily the “two sea Xaraiés�. The Paraguay river and the other rivers of the Pantanal present/display little declivity, of the order of 20-30 cm by km, which causes that the waters that are accumulated in the periods of intense rains empty with much slowness. Consequently, the floods, that are principles to the north in the months of March and April, arrive at the south from the Pantanal only in July and August. Meanwhile, immense amounts of water, probably hundreds of cubical km per year, are lost by direct evaporation to the atmosphere. The Pantanal can be, with justice, considered the greater “window� of fresh water evaporation of the world.

All the life and economy of the Pantanal are ligatures to this system of floods. The region is an interesting aquatic paradox in a semi-arid or even barren continental climate area. Without the abundant and superficial water table and alluviums lazy by the floods, the terrestrial vegetation would be similar to the one of closed or the one of the Bolivian Chaco. Also, the rich fauna of birds and mammals depends, in its great majority, of the aquatic feeding. The Pantanal can be seen, then, like a great and dynamic interface between the aquatic and terrestrial world.

The aquatic vegetation is fundamental for the pantanera life. The floating plants are the main primary producers in waters of the Pantanal. Immense extensions are covered by “batume�, that are floating plants, such as the banquet and the Salvinia, among others. Taken by the rivers, these plants constitute true floating islands, camalotes.

After the floods, the nutritious mud layer allows the development of a rich vegetation of grass. The palm carandá follows one another in extensive formation in the areas in which the floods dominate but they are dried during the winter, alternating itself with the anthills of cupins, where the paratudal has beginning. The “paratudales�, formed by ipês roxos (Tabeuia, locally called piúva), are typical.
The Pantanal offers to the visitor a variety of open landscapes populated by great animal populations, whose feeding depends on the aquatic phase. They are 690 species of birds, almost 300 species of fish, 95 of mammals, 40 of amphibians, 160 of reptiles, without forgetting the fundamental insects for the survival the birds.

Between the animal that we can find they are: banks of pitu and several species of crab that own indirect economic importance: they serve as bait for the fishermen. Between the abundant fish, they are corumbatá, the pacú, the cascudo, the painted one, the dourado one, the jaú and pirañas. Between that they are fed on the aquatic vegetation honor the great populations of capibaras, buffalos and the cágados ones. Ariranha, important predator piscívoro, formerly abundant, almost has been exterminated by the hunters. A similar destiny can get to have the jacare (cayman), decimated by the illegal hunting of the last years.

The jacares (caymans) have an important paper in waters of the Pantanal, where they work like “regulating� predators of the piscicultural fauna and, sometimes, like excellent agents of the recycling of nutrients. In the places where there is many jacares are few pirañas. When the jacares are decimated by the indiscriminate hunting of the salesmen of skins, the population of pirañas aggressive increases to the detriment of other species of fish.

Another important aquatic and semiterrestrial predator is sucuri (type anaconda). The serpents are little in the Pantanal, mainly in the areas flooding. But there is water serpents, jararacas and boipevaçu.

The birds of the Pantanal are one of the majors attractions of the Pantanal. Reunited in enormous concentrations, the aquatic nutritional resources explode. The tuiuiú, the cabeça-dry and colhereiro, besides the herons biguás and the ducks, are showiest. Many species make their nests in common areas, on certain trees, known like ninhais, that emphasize in the landscape of the Pantanal. To at dusk accompany to the birds or the dawn the dormitories to borders by the rivers where they happen the nights is an admirable spectacle.

They are also typical birds of the Pantanal the aracuã-do-pantanal, the plow-blue one, that is in extinction danger, the periquito of black head. The small cardinal is a bird characteristic of this ecosystem. The enormous abundance of birds of prey, especially will caracará reflect the wealth of animal prey.

Also they are concentrated in great number in the Pantanal animal typical of the closed one attracted by the abundance of foods of the flooded areas. They are these species those that appear scattered in other areas of the continent. The cervo-do-pantanal, common in the rich humid grass, it is possible to be seen him accompanied by two species more of red deers by the closed one and by other mammals, like the puppy-vinegar, anta, caitetu, paca, etc.

Between the primates, it emphasizes macaco-prego. Mount pigs, descendants of domesticated pigs, also proliferate in the middle of the dense vegetation of the Pantanal. As well as the ounce and other felines are attracted by the abundance of prey. The main predator to borders of the water is onça guinea fowl, next to other canine félidos and.

The abiertos landscapes of the Pantanal facilitate to realize the aerial census of the populations of great vertebrates. It is considered, for example, that exists 10 million jacares today, 600,000 capivaras, but only 35,000 cervos-do-pantanal.

Registered in the List of Patrimonies of the Humanity in 1987. The idea to count on one capital inside the country goes back to the colonial period, in itself the XVIII, although they acquire form in century XIX. Jose Bonifacio, the Patriarch of Independence already gave the name him of Brasilia, even in 1883, Joao Bosco, a salesiano father who lived in Italy, was a visionary sleepy, revealing that would in center arise a new civilization from Brazil, between parallels 15 and 20. In 1950 an aerial-photogrammetric rise becomes of the area where today the quadrilateral of the Federal District with its 5,822 km2s is placed.

Brasilia

In 1956, already in the Presidency of the Republic, Juscelino Kubitschek, it decides to realize the always posponed dream, summoning a public contest, was the chosen architect Lucio Coast to conceive the pilot plan and the architect Oscar Niemeyer who signs the majority of architectonic works of the city. Oscar Niemeyer initiated its professional race in the study of Lucio Coast, and is considered the most important architect Brazilian of century XX. The plane of the city was work of Lucio Coast, the majority of outstanding buildings was created by Oscar Niemeyer and the paisajismo was in charge of Robert Deceives Marx.

Two of the main objectives were, on the one hand to impel the colonization of the rear area and on the other to equip the nation with one capital and soothes of totally new central government, to finish with the dispute between the great cities of the coast: Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, each one of as looked for himself a greater political paper in the country, in spite of being River the official capital until then.
Located in the Center-West region, in an extension yielded by the State of Goiás, Brasilia is bordered by the Preto rivers, to the east, and Descoberto, to the west, and congregates, in an area of 5,822 km2s, a population of 2 million inhabitants, although projected initially to lodge around 500,000 inhabitants, the city counts at the moment with more than 600,000 in the ¨Plano Piloto¨ and more than 1.400.000 in the cities satellites that depend on the center and what outside the utopia of a perfect city, faces the problems of any other great city. They coexist in its apples, democratically, politicians of diverse tendencies, diplomats of the most distant countries and officials government of all the steps. This coexistence, nevertheless, does not eliminate the resistances: the cities satellites, where thousands live on people, advance disorderly around the Pilot Plan - with their ample spaces and arborizados, the horizon to the bottom, the North and South Lagos and the succession of arcs and curves that compose the architecture of the city.

The city was constructed on a base in the form of airplane that aims at the south-east, although Lucio Coast insists on which he looked for to give butterfly form him. The land originally was barren and inhospitable. A water prey was constructed in the area, at the same time as the works of the city began.

The city stands out by its ample avenues, that lock up besides buildings public, a series of districts, called “supersquare�, that as to his it indicates it name group enormous sets of constructions.

The climate in the federal capital is semi-dry, with stations defined by the air humidity: a drought and fries, and the other humid and warm one. The average temperature is of 20,5° C (69° F). October is the warmest month of the year, with maximum temperature of 29° C (85° F), whereas July is coldest, with minimum temperature of 13° C (55° F).

All the times are good to visit Brasilia, but the recommendation is to avoid the period of rains (of October to March). In the other periods: between April and June, when still there is no drought is possible to be enjoyed beautiful days of blue sky, a spectacle aside. Of August to September, during the driest time of the year, the pink and yellow flowers of the magnificent lapachos stand out between the grayish vegetation of the city. Rains recommence, generally, in October.

In addition, it counts on gardens filled with native and exotic plants, identified with plates and facilities for picnics.

National park of Brasilia: it includes 30,000 you have. More like Mineral water is known, due to their springs and to the natural water swimming pools formed by the artesian wells that Camp are to borders of the stream. Besides the natural swimming pools, also there are two ideal footpaths for long walks: first, Trilha gives Capivara, of 1.3 km of extension and that can be crossed in 20 minutes; and the second, Trilha Crystal Water, that demands one hour of long walk his to cross its 5 km.
