Vila Amaury in 1959...
(the workers' camp built by the National Congress and ministries)
before being flooded by Lake Paranoá the following year.
The inhabitants were transferred to the first satellite towns of the Federal District:
Taguatinga, Gama and Sobradinho.
In 1959, residents of Vila Amaury washed clothes...
in the still-forming Lake Paranoá.
About a year later, the village was completely submerged.
May 22nd, 2011...
boat 'Imagination' with over 90 people on board capsized in Lake Paranoá.
Many people drown here, each year.
