A small town outside Brasilia, with three very similar churches (“the one with two palm trees or the one with one palm tree?”), a street of restaurants catering to weekenders from the city, and a selection of waterfalls nearby. Also nearby, some remarkably difficult dirt roads – we were glad we visited in the dry season, even though that meant some of the waterfalls were less powerful than usual.
Our temporary abode not only had five small falls on the property, it had a nest of blue-winged tanagers in the roof, and many other birds visiting every morning.
