What you’ll do
Find your feet in urban jungle São Paulo in no time, with your local host as your personal GPS along must-see landmarks like the enormous Metropolitan Cathedral or a Court of Justice inspired by Italian architecture. Hear the fascinating history of how Sampa was founded by missionaries outside the founder's site, before seeing where national ballerinas assemblé at a heavily ornamented masterpiece. Find out where to hang with Paulistanos on the rest of your trip at a market bursting with flavors (and sizzling pastry envelopes galore), before walking in the steps of economic giants along famous street Avenida Paulista. Dart to ultra-hip Beco de Batman alley for a dose of quirky street art, where your host will point out a nearby deep-fried coxinha hotspot.
