About this experience
Through the Bike Tour of the Fátima Neighborhood and Church Unit, people will get to know the way of life of Brazilians and learn about the urban design designed by Lucio Costa, the city's inventor architect. We think mainly of people who already know the Monumental Axis and would like to know different places, see the life that Brazilians live and understand how it lives. By bike we travel impossible circuits to other vehicles and the perspective of the city is completely different.
