Brasília Vista do Colorado

Perhaps the most beautiful view from the north side of Brasilia - the lake is Paranoá - , the skyline showing the plain at the top of the Central Plateau. This is the landscape that has points where you can park on top of Colorado, was known as the area beside the bridge in Colorado, North Exit (Pilot Plan for Sobradinho and thence to Planaltina, Taiwan etc.). Today there are malls, motels and offices, plus a gazebo and small area not yet built but already sold by the local government. In this high began to fight environmental NGOs after the Rio-92. The flag was to keep the crest of the Chapada da Contagem without building should be preserved as ridges that feed aquifers, as in this case, but won developmentalism, even without respecting the right to modern views that the citizen is assured.

Area is plateau border, mostly, for being on top of historic Chapada da Contagem. Where in the colonial past was watched caravans of gold cycle paths to not slip away so clandestine that lead to Bahia, without the control of the province of Sao Paulo to get to the coast.

Today has offices, motels, two shopping centers. Around the factory there is mixing of fertilizers and other activities that offer risk to the headwaters of streams that drain into the lake. Action filed in court by environmental NGOs calling for the suspension of permits for new construction. They also want to build a gazebo, with part of the area back to the public sector to guarantee everyone the right to the landscape. For now if you can stop the car in the parking lot of the post and look for a space to see Brasilia.

Another option - perhaps the best - is to follow the DF-001 to a Catholic shrine (Mother Thrice Admirable), where you can enjoy the scenery of the Pilot Plan for the north side.
