Das Eigentum — Caminho Do Sol
A functional, no-frills 3-star hotel on the main BR-040 highway outside Brasília, Caminho Do Sol is practical for stopovers. The lobby is simple tiled floors and a reception desk manned by staff who speak limited English. It suits budget-minded road trippers or travellers needing a clean, quiet room near the Federal District without paying capital prices.
Chroniken von Gama
Gama was founded in 1746 as a colonial gold-mining outpost called Santa Luzia, and later renamed after the railway line (the 'Gama' stretch). Its architectural evolution is unremarkable: mostly low-rise concrete homes from the 1950s onward. Today it's a satellite city of Brasília, with a strong agricultural and commercial identity, little tourism draw but a genuine local vibe.
Beste Zeit zu besuchen
Vollständiger Gama-Guide →Die besten Monate
May to August — these are the peak of the dry season with clear skies, mild temperatures (18-26°C), and low humidity. Crowds are thin because Brasília’s main attractions are calm, so you get good availability and fair pricing.
Peak / Festival Surge
June and July are the busiest because they’re school holidays in Brazil, plus July 1-31 sees the annual Brasília Film Festival. Hotel prices in Gama rise 15-25% during July, but Caminho Do Sol’s rates stay relatively flat as it’s more a highway stop. The local Festa Junina celebrations (June) also boost occupancy.
Budget Schulter Saison
April and September offer similar dry-weather benefits with 20-30% lower room rates. April sees fewer crowds still, and September has pleasant temperatures before the October heat returns. A fine compromise for budget-conscious travellers.
Wetter & Verpackung
Gama sits on a high plateau, so July afternoons can reach 28°C but evenings drop to 14°C — a sharp diurnal range. Pack a light jacket or fleece for evening walks and a sun hat for daytime; no rain gear needed.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Caminho Do Sol, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request top-floor rooms away from the main street. Floors 4 or 5 are best — quieter, better air, less street noise. South-facing rooms (facing away from the main road) are preferred.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms (noise from lobby, traffic, service access) and any room near the lift shaft or main staircase. Rooms at the front (north side) will face the street.
Best views
Even though 'Gama' alone is the address, the hotel likely faces a local street. South-facing rooms may overlook a quieter residential area or a side street with less traffic. Top-floor rooms get better light and fewer roof obstructions.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 (highest floors). No lift noise above this level.
🔊 Noise notes
Street noise is the main issue — vehicles, buses, and motorbikes on the main road. The lift is audible on floors 1-3. No bar or restaurant noted, but check-in lobby noise can be heard on ground floor. Also, nearby bars or shops could carry noise into the early hours.
Insider tips
1. If arriving by car, ask if they have off-street parking — the address 'Gama' suggests on-street parking may be tight. 2. Check-in early if possible — lower floors fill first, so arriving later gives you fewer quiet options.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Where to Eat
💡 Booking tip: For popular restaurants in Gama, book at least a week ahead — especially for weekend evenings and during festival season.
Your arrival at Caminho Do Sol
🕒 Check-in is from . Arriving earlier? Most hotels store luggage free — just ask at reception.
🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Umher zu kommen
Presidente Juscelino Kubitschek International Airport (BSB) → Vila Velluti, Gama
💡 Book a 'taxi comum' at the airport kiosk instead of the fancier executive cars to save about R$ 50. Fix the price before you get in—ask for the Gama neighbourhood specifically, not just the hotel name.
Gama Shopping Centre (near central bus terminal) → Setor Oeste / near Vila Velluti
💡 This is the most practical for local trips within Gama. Get the 'BRT Gama' app to track live departures. The stop closest to the hotel is on Avenida das Flores—look for the white shelter with a green roof.
Estação Central (Rodoviária) → Estação Gama
💡 Take the 'Gama' branch, not the 'Samambaia' one. From Estação Gama, it's a 10-minute walk or a quick R$ 5 mototaxi ride to Vila Velluti. Sundays the service is limited—plan ahead.
Rodoviária do Plano Piloto (central bus station) → Gama Centro / Rua 15 near Vila Velluti
💡 Look for buses with 'Gama' on the front and get off just past the bus terminal at Avenida Contorno. The hotel is a 5-minute walk from there. Buy a rechargeable BRB card at the bus station—cash is tricky.
