26 days in Sao Paulo & Paranapiacaba Itinerary

Don't let the city's nickname--"Land of Drizzle"--dampen your spirits during a trip to Sao Paulo.

Eschew the tourist crowds and head to Asturias Beach and Museum of Brazilian homes. Your cultural itinerary includes sights like Itau Cultural Institute and Catavento Cultural e Educacional. Venture out of the city with trips to Enseada Beach (in Guaruja) and Peruibe (Guarauzinho Beach & Strike 300 Boliche). There's much more to do: see the interesting displays at Museum of Contemporary Art, get a new perspective on nature at Museu do Catavento, and get in on the family fun at KidZania Sao Paulo.

The Route module can give you travel options from your home to Sao Paulo. In June in Sao Paulo, expect temperatures between 26°C during the day and 15°C at night. Finish your sightseeing early on the 30th (Sun) so you can drive to Paranapiacaba.

When the British owners of the Sao Paulo Railway Company first designed Paranapiacaba in the mid-19th century, they couldn't have imagined that it would one day become a hit tourist destination.

You've now added Spiff Monitor to your itinerary. Start off your visit on the 1st (Mon): brush up on your knowledge of spirits at Alambique Canabella, take in the spiritual surroundings of Igreja Nossa Senhora D'Ajuda, and then head outdoors with Spiff Monitor. Get ready for a full day of sightseeing on the next day: make a trip to Igreja de Sao Benedito - Santuario do Senhor Bom Jesus de Matosinhos, then head outdoors with Parque Centenário da Imigração Japonesa, then make a trip to Igrejas das Ordens Primeira e Terceira do Carmo, and finally steep yourself in history at Railway Station.
