The Best of NileGuide
- From the air, São Paulo appears to have been born out of the eruption of a concrete volcano—Mother Brazil's ugly and elephantine stepchild to whom the birthright of breathtaking landscapes has been denied. But amidst the mass of steel, bricks and mortar, cultural gems emerge. Sampa boasts some of Latin America's finest museums, music venues and shopping malls. Interesting architecture abounds. Room to stroll can be found among the high-rise-crowded avenues, sculpture-saturated plazas and verdant parks. Around the city's many curves and between its copious cracks, furthermore, hidden allures await urban adventurers looking for those off-the-beaten-path attractions.
