Roberto Burle Marx Farmhouse

Built by the landscape designer and architect Roberto Burle Marx in his residence in the city's West Zone, Sítio Burle Marx offers in its 365 thousand m² a journey through unequalledly beautiful gardens. The landscaper has managed to gather one of the most important collections of tropical and subtropical plants in the world in his site, which has more than 3,500 species. This large collection of living plants has perfectly adapted to the usual nature of the site, composed of mangrove, restinga, and Atlantic Forest.
Guided tours to the park are accompanied by professionals from the site, who introduce visitors to the species that live there and tell the story of this important Brazilian architect and landscape designer. Besides a tour of the botanical part of the space, visitors can also discover Burle Marx's architecture, painting atelier, and personal plant collections. There is also the Burle Marx House Museum, which preserves 3,125 pieces, including rare objects of art and handicraft gathered during the landscaper's life.
