The achievements of the great landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx include the Parque do Flamengo, the grounds of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Brasília and the famous pavement designs of Copacabana. His property comprises the house in which he lived until his death, an immense 365km2 garden (home to thousands of plant species), a 17C Benedictine chapel and a studio where his work is exhibited. Not to be missed!
