Introduction

Samambaia takes its name from a fern, Phlebodium aureum, an epiphytic species native to the tropical and subtropical Americas.

Three days in Samambaia

Day one: Start by getting your bearings in Samambaia, a planned neighbourhood in the Federal District. As you walk its residential blocks, look for the fern Phlebodium, which gives the area its name and grows in the local vegetation. Take your time along the main avenues to understand how the neighbourhood is laid out before heading onward.

Day two: Continue exploring Samambaia at an easy pace. The neighbourhood sits within the wider Federal District, so use the day to move between its different sectors and see how daily life unfolds around you. Keep an eye out again for Phlebodium in gardens and green corners.

Day three: Round off your time in Samambaia before travelling on. If your route continues across the Americas, plan the next leg from the Federal District, leaving yourself enough time to return to the centre of Samambaia and collect your things.
