The late Roberto Burle Marx designed some of greatest landscapes in the world, most of them in his own country, Brazil. The Burle Marx gardens are among the most unique, modern, and magical anywhere. So grab this chance for a fabulous Brazilian tour led by landscape architect 
Isabela Ono, who works in the Burle Marx office in Rio and is the daughter of Marx's former business partner, Haruyoshi Ono.
Organized by Jeff Sainsbury Tours, Ltd, the 11-day tour, "A Brazilian Odyssey: The Gardens and Landscapes of Roberto Burle Marx," March 6-18, is limited to 16 participants and includes many private properties rarely open to visitors. Visitors will see Burle Marx's own estate and studio near Rio; a private residence in the Tijuca Forest, the world's largest urban woodland; and Burle Marx's many public landscapes and private residences in Belo Horizonte, Brasilia, and elsewhere. A bargain at $4750 -- many meals included.
