Many people outside South America may think São Paulo is a small village in the middle of the Rain Forest, but actually it's the second largest city in the world (the first is Tokyo). The city was founded in January 25, 1554 by Manuel da Nóbrega. It was named a city in 1711, but didn't grow as fast as the rest of the other cities until late 1800s. The current population is ca. 19.000.000.

Some of the most important places in São Paulo are: Paulista Ave., the Modern Art and the Independency Museum, the Martinelli Building, the Ibirapuera Park, but there are many other atractions. You can find here very good food and hotels.

Vila Nova Conceição, Morumbi, Jardins, Moema and Chácara Flora are some of the best neighborhoods to live in. All of them are located at the South Zone. Night life can be found at many places, but the most visited are Vila Madalena and Tatuapé. There are no beaches at the city, but there are several beach cities within 200 km east.
