Buuuuuut, this ended up awesome! I'd totally recommend this service to any tourist visiting SP, Renato (owner and guide) is very patient, and he explains SP's history either in Portuguese or English, plus his route is really awesome! Give it a swirl, you'll love it! Tour comes with guide, bicycle, and helmet!

Throughout the park there are tracks and walkways and there's a nice lake in the center. The only downside, and this is a major disappointment, is that there might be looters and criminals after sunset, so pay attention to your surroundings! Our stroll through the park got us hungry, so we decided to find a nearby restaurant. We stumbled upon this place with nice open seating, so we decided to stay for lunch. It's actually within the park on the southwest corner, but I couldn't find it on Yelp. Jardim Churrascada is the name of the restaurant, and it was my first time trying Brazilian biro-biro rice - their version of fried rice - and it was delicious! It pairs well with any type of meat. With the perfect weather, we had a really lovely brunch. São Paulo is a nice city and has so much potential to become one of the world's top megacities if only the government were less corrupt and were more proactive in developing and fine tuning the city's infrastructures.

Avenida Paulista is a must experience feeling. I say that but I have no advice as to when you…read moreshould visit. My first time experiencing Avenida Paulista, was not as memorable as my last visit. During that first visit, in the pre-riot days of Dilma's presidency, Avenida Paulista was the main thoroughfare in a massive city. The thing that stuck out for me nearly 10 years ago was the number of orelhões and how many were styled uniquely. One, particularly dug had knitting around it's pole. Other than that, it was a very hot summer's day, snapping photos and eventually forgetting most of what I saw. But my last visit, on a drizzly, late August Sunday was amazing. I could not stop soaking of the effortless street styles of Young Brazil. I felt like I was scrolling through the 'Gram watching folks stunt. But I wasn't, I was just weaving through life in São Paulo. There was an all women Samba band playing by the library, there were countless Queer couples holding hands or arm-in-arm. This time, I took only one picture because I knew what I was experiencing was unforgettable. Most memorial was the conversation in Portuguese of course, with Transgender political activist over our mutual "adoration" of Prince Rogers Nelson, all due peace and blessings be upon his beautiful soul. Coming from the U.S. I feel like my last visit to Avenida Paulista helped my view of the world to develop further. U.S. dialog often presents Main Street and Wall Street as the two poles. I like that dichotomy, its catchy but what about "Pennsylvania Avenue" as it is often referred to as outside of D.C. and Pennsylvania Avenue SE. What about the juxtaposition between Times Square and North Avenue in Baltimore, U.S.A.? I'm just working through it, myself. But all the hues of Brown, the vacant mansion right by the park, across from the glittering buildings, the weed in the air--everything which I was privy to, not as a spectator but as a welcome guest. I am giving Avenida Paulista 5 Stars--easy. I do this well aware that you, the reader, may not feel what I felt. The point is, I don't know if I would feel the same way again, there, but somewhere in the world, in the future, I will.

Paulista Avenue is the main avenue in all of Sao Paulo. However, I would not really compare to the…read moreChicago's Michigan Avenue or New York's Fifth Avenue. This avenue has more in common with Wall Street. It is mostly made of office buildings of financial and political orgnaizations. There is some shopping to be found here, but this is a place where you'll mainly see locals in business attire. It is still an impressive looking street with all of the skyscrapers that line it. And one place that really stands out architecturally and is worth a visit is the Sao Paulo Museum of Art. It is only 1.7 miles and I found it plesant to walk to the whole length to experience the sights and sounds of this huge city.

Parque Severo Gomes is a moderately-sized park in the Santo Amaro neighborhood of São Paulo. It…read morereminded me of a suburban neighborhood park in the US but with a little Amazonian jungle flair. The park is surrounded on all sides by homes and neighborhood streets, and there are several entrances that pedestrians can use to access the park. There are three major sections in the park. The first is a larger open field that can be used for lounging and picnics. When my friend and I stopped by we saw a lot of dogs in this area running around and playing with their owners and other dogs. The second section is on the opposite side of the open field and has children's play equipment and a park information area. The third section, between the play equipment and open field, has a nature walk that makes you feel like you're in a forest! Lots of different plants and trees, and there are signs pointing out the different species. There is also a small stream running through the park and its very pretty when you stop and remember that you're in the middle of the largest city in South America! Near the park entrance at the play equipment as my friend and I were about to leave, we noticed a small group of people around a few trees and holding their arms out as if calling something. As curious tourists, we went to see what was going on...and to our surprise, we saw a tiny group of sagui monkeys amongst the branches! This was by far our favorite part of visiting Parque Severo Gomes, and we stayed to watch the monkeys jump through the trees even after the other people had left. It was amazing to see that the monkeys were just hanging out in a public park, since we definitely don't get monkeys that freely in Hawaii or on the mainland! TL;DR - suburban park, lots of different landscapes, and keep your eyes open for monkey sightings!

There are homeless people that would try to approach you and ask you for money but don't fret, the police is everywhere so they leave you alone. It has everything from cheeses, cold cuts, fruits, vegetables, desserts, olives, pastries, pastel, Brazilian souvenirs, alcohol, spices, candy, fish and seafood, Persian food, meats, etc. There are food stalls, snack shops, bars, and restaurants inside the market. There are plenty of ATMs but most shops take credit cards. The market itself is open daily from 6am to 6pm. Individual shops may have different hours so check before coming here. It's been open since 1933 as São Paulo's main grocery store. High ceiling means it's cooler and has more ventilation. Don't forget to look up to see the stained glass windows.
