Brasilia is the federal capital of Brazil, located in the Brazilian Highlands. Although it constitutes the largest city in the world, not existing at the beginning of the 20th century, it is the fourth largest Brazilian city and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The city is one of the host cities of the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
A great number of historic sites, museums and landmarks, as well as special natural setting that may offer scenic views, make Brasilia the “Brazilian utopia” that every tourist wants to visit. The city attends to sportsmen’s needs, too. Seekers of adrenaline will enjoy the experience of practicing extreme sports, including paintball.
All around the city, there are plenty of paintball fields of high standards. You have the chance to enjoy one of the most thrilling extreme sports that requires physical ability, since you will have to move through different obstacles, as well as development of mental strategies to cope with the opponents’ plan. The balls are thrown by a marker (paintball gun) and are made with gelatin thin, filled with water based ink, which do not stain clothing.
Paintball is considered as one of the least dangerous extreme sports, as long as fields’ staff provide you with special gear that will basically protect your eyes, face and ears. The prices are quite reasonable, but you are kindly advised to choose weekdays, since the cost per hour is a little bit higher at the weekends.
