São Paulo Travel Blogs

Background: Following three centuries under the rule of Portugal, Brazil became an independent nation in 1822. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil overcame more than half a century of military intervention in the governance of the country when in 1985 the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Exploiting vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional leader. Highly unequal income distribution remains a pressing problem.

Here we are in the giagantic city of Sao Paulo, we did some exploring yesterday and had many reccommendation from our host Jean Pascal of where to go, and we got absolutely lost. We eventually managed to find our way back was good. It is a big, confusing, intimidating city, but we are getting ready to set off today and conquer yet another city in another country. We are planning to go to Igaussu falls on thursday night and spend the weekend there, which should be incredible, especially since Jean was telling us they have the worlds largest hydro-electric plant, we [View Full Entry]

Just about made it to Sao Paulo... The hostel forgot to book my taxi, so when it finally arrived i had 20 minutes to get to the bus station, and it normally takes 30! After some crazy speeding by the driver, i made it with 2 mins to spare, but didn't have chance to buy any food or drink, so bit of a duff journey as i was starving! Arrived in Sao Paulo at 7am, and found my hostel, which was pretty cool! I walked miles to the centre, and immediately got lost. My sense of direction is shocking, and Sao [View Full Entry]

Thirty minutes gone in the first half. Brazil are two nil down against USA in the Confederations Cup final. The mood in the bar is edgy. Brazilians are not used to losing finals! It could be a long second half. We were sitting in a bar just off Paulista Avenue, the financial centre of Brazil. Paulista is a lot like Fifth Avenue in New York, but in my opinion Paulista is more impressive. It is our first night in Sao Paulo. We had stepped on board a bus three days previous in La Paz, Bolivia and fell out in Santa Cruz. [View Full Entry]

Upon my recent return from SE Asia for 2 months, I realized that keeping a blog/online notebook would have be great for my family and friends to know what I was experiencing everyday. Moreover, a number of interesting facts and experiences faded away (happens when every day I did something I had not ever done in my life = zero routine). But being on the move every few days and not having internet access for many weeks (time in Burma), staying in contact was tough. Now that I will be in Brazil for 11 weeks, I hope friends and family will [View Full Entry]

TAM Airlines are no Ryanair! They welcome you with a sweet, feed you twice, keep you well hydrated and don't try to persude you to buy a single thing on the plane. It was a novel and pleasant experience to actually get value for our €70 per ticket. We almost didn't make the flight though, but this was mostly my fault. Having arrived at Salvador airport in good time, we presented ourselves at the GOL ticket desk. The guy behind the counter looked at us quizzically and fired off some rapid Portuguese in our direction. We responded with our favourite phrase [View Full Entry]

The bus from Campo Grande was supposed to arrive Sao Paulo at 1pm, 2pm already and we were still stuck in traffic, I got worried as I told Rapha the bus arrival of 1pm, we pulled in to the station at 3:30pm, very embarrased I apologized profusely to Rapha who greeted me with his usual big smile, but first thing he said to me is you're so thin!! Hey backpacking is not easy, I lose when when I travel because i move around a lot. So good to see my old friend, we met in Africa he on his motorbike and [View Full Entry]

Hey guys, Well we arrived in Sao Paulo after a long bus ride, and I know I've bitched about some bus rides before (or every blog entry) but this one takes the cake! So we're just on the bus two hours and we stop at a market for a break, then we start driving and within 20 min we're stopped again at a police station/checkpoint on the side of the road. No big deal, fairly standard, the driver goes into the station with a girl, then a cop gets on, speaks to everyone in Portuguese and then we're all getting off [View Full Entry]

Sao Paulo could be seen as a very European City. But that is all it is. A city. Just like any other city. The skyscrapers are tall, and the people are busy. There are a couple of things that set it apart though. I arrived here yesterday afternoon after a 6 hour bus journey from Paraty. I left the hostel with another traveller, Andrei, who is studying for his PHD in violence in Columbia at Sussex University, of all places! He got on a bus to Rio and I was left alone at the bus station. Setting out on my own [View Full Entry]

Flying out of Foz de Iguassu gave me a wonderful view of what is left of the rainforest. In this State there is only 3% left of the rainforest which is a rather depressing statistic. The dark dense patches faded out as the plane continued to the coast. And what a coast it was too. Even from the air I could see enormous stretches of wide sandy beach reaching north. The plane turned left back inland and over the Sao Paulo metropolis, depending what statistics you read it can be ranked as the 4th biggest city in the world (by population). [View Full Entry]
