Ibirapuera Park<br />
São Paulo is the city of superlatives and is quite well-known for being a large business<br />
hub. Not everyone knows that nearly one-fourth of the city’s territory is occupied by green areas,<br />
with parks and protected sites, perfect for a relaxing weekend and for escaping from the busy<br />
routine of the city. Save a day to visit Pedra Grande Part in Cantareira State Park, in the North<br />
zone of the city. Take one of the four options of trails with different difficulty levels available there<br />
and feel surrounded by nature, even being just 10km away from the city center. On the next day,<br />
enjoy unmisseble Ibirapuera Park, an enormous green area in the heart of São Paulo, which offers<br />
several museums and buildings designed by the renowned architect Oscar Niemeyer. Go for a<br />
walk or a fun ride in a bike around the lake.<br />
Another good option is Independência<br />
Park, with a beautiful garden that replicates<br />
Versailles Palace’s garden, in France, or the<br />
Botanical Garden [Jardim Botânico], with its<br />
groves and greenhouses with native species<br />
from the Atlantic Forest. Do not miss Villa Lobos<br />
Park and the Jaraguá Peak [Pico do Jaraguá],<br />
and the EPAs (Environmental Protection Areas),<br />
located inside the city.<br />
