Overview

Burle Marx, the multiple artist, was a collector of plants and objects of art and design, among which Brazilian folk art stands out, displayed on the site where one can visit the seventeenth-century church restored by him. The visit to the Burle Marx Site is a highly inspiring and rare opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of nature preservation as we observe one of the most important collections of tropical plants in the world. After the visit to the site, we will continue to Pedra de Guaratiba and its lush beaches. In an attempt to dominate Rio de Janeiro in the XVI century, the French chose this place to setlle down and follow by land towards the shores of Guanabara Bay. Pedra de Guaratiba keeps many stories to tell its visitors. Following the beaches of Grumari, Prainha, Macumba, Recreio, Barra da Tijuca, São Conrado, Leblon and Ipanema.

Quick refund

Published on Mar, 2020

Given the effects of COVID19, we had to cancel our Wowtours of Sitio Burle Marx. We greatly appreciate our communication with Camilo and the quick refund. We hope that later this year we can take the tour. Thank you for your help. I am sure that it would have been a great tour - and that it will be.

Best travel expert in Brazil!

Camilo was fastastic! A wonderful local who tells fantastic stories about Brazil and answers all your questions. He goes at your pace and is very easy to be around. The tour was amazing and I would go back again. Highly recommend booking with Camilo if you're looking for a personalised proper local tour! Thanks again :)

10/10 Must Go- a perfect tour with Camilo

Published on Dec, 2019

Visiting Sítio was a dream of mine. Camilo made it happen! And his English is great too! The tour also includes a little bag of snacks and a bottle of water. We had a good breakfast, so we saved ours till the trip back when we were hungry. He picked us up early and got us out of the city without too many problems with Rio’s traffic. As we drive, he told us about each neighborhood we passed through, and pointed out and named the mountains we passed by. He is super knowledgeable about the area! We arrived to Sítio early, just a bit before the first tour. The guide spoke a bit of English, but the tour was mainly in Portuguese. No problem, Camilo translated the whole thing. He’s been on the tour before, so he also ended telling us a few tidbits before the guide got to them. He also photographed the whole thing for us, and will share the pictures via google drive later. Sítio itself it truly amazing. This is one of the few places in the world where the genius of Roberto Burle Marx is preserved and on full display. The plantings are so beautiful, bold and overwhelming. The tiles, paths, plants, water features, and buildings are all incredible. I’ve studies Burle Marx’s work, so I thought I knew what to expect. What I saw was much Much more incredible than I thought it would be. This place is magical. On the way back to Rio we drove through a mangrove forest and by the beaches. It was a very beautiful drive. And interesting, because Camilo added a bunch of information about everything we drove past. There were 4 of us on the tour, and we were all amazed and super happy we went. It couldn’t have been a better experience.

Stunning & Safe Day Excursion

Published on Nov, 2019

My fiancé and I really enjoyed this tour! We highly recommend tour guide Camilo Sequeira was an excellent guide very knowledgeable, safe driver and made the tour a lot more enjoyable. He took great pictures for us and gave us a lot of helpful information about exploring more of Brazil. Thank you so much! FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
