What our travellers think of their stay
São Paulo, the economic lungs of Brazil, also has some pleasant surprises in store for tourists. Food lovers, visitors interested in culture and architecture will be seduced by this 'Pauliste' city.
My suggestion
To appreciate the immensity of the metropolis, go to the top floor of the Martinelli Building or, if money's not a problem, charter a helicopter.
Bem-Vindo to SãoPaulo! A busy, bustling South American city where Brazil meets the rest of the world! Essentially a cosmopolitan megalopolis, city-dwellers who prefer the madness of the urban jungle to natural, wild forests will love it.
My suggestion
Fully absorb the city's atmosphere as you stroll along its palm-lined avenues. As far as possible, avoid getting bogged down in the traffic that chokes the city. Use the subway to get around instead. You'll save both time and energy.

My suggestion
If you have the time, head out of town to little known, yet beautiful, beaches that are within a reasonable traveling distance. I particularly recommend Ubatuba Beach, but bear in mind it'll take you two hours to get there.
