I am arriving via TAM at Sao Paulo airport on November20, 2007. I want to take a bus to Santons around 9:00 PM that evening. Do you know the schedule? and the bus number?

Hi there

I'll be spending anywhere from 2 weeks to a month in Sae Caetano do Sul from December to January and am looking for some cheap, decent accommodation. I can't find any info on hostels or short term apartment rentals or even renting a room somewhere (in the area). Does anyone have any suggestions? I'd be really grateful!

cheers

Hi all , I will be arriving at Guarulhos in Nov and am planning to spend a few days in Sao Paulo before heading on to Rio.

Is it possible and easy for me to book/purchase my Rio flight ticket at Guarulhos Intl. Airport? Or I will have to purchase it at Congonhas Airport?

About how much I am looking at for a return ticket for Rio, from Sao Paulo ? Last year I flew Varig from Sao Paulo to Rio . Is Tam as good or they are about all the same ?

Much thanks in advance.

My girlfriend and I will be arriving from Europe in Sao Paulo at the start of November. We will be staying there for a few days and then onto to Rio.

We will be pretty jetlagged so I was hoping to stay in a reasonable hotel to recover. Can anyone recommend a decent hotel/motel to stay in a nice area of Sao Paulo?

Oi a todos!!

I just arrived in Sao Paulo from D.C. and am feeling a bit lost. Does anyone have any tips on what to see, where to eat, nightlife ,etc.? I'm going to be studying here for five months and I don't even know where to begin bc this city is so enormous!

Thanks so much :)

Hi There. I have some Miles& More miles that a I have to spend before september 30th. Swiss air tells me that I can spend my miles going from santiago to Sao Paulo. The problem is that I would be going alone...and from what i´ve heard , the city is more like a business center than a plcae for a woman tourist to go alone.
¿ is there a place near Sao Paulo where I could go for a short vacation, maily to rest?...I thought may be I could take the flight to Sao Paulo and then go to a place nearby.

Please help!
My wife and I (from Edmonton, Canada) are at the end of a 10 month trip around the world. Instead of buying Round the World tickets, we have been buying the tickets ourselves. It has worked out great until now! My wife and I are going to Rio on July 13th. We are planning on staying until the 19th or so (I know - not even close to long enough!). We want to fly from Rio/Sao Paulo to Houston to visit my sister and do not have any tickets booked yet. I have been searching multiple sites on the net and the cheapest rate I have found is about $1300US (more expensive than flying to New Zealand from Canada!). Do I have any chance of going to Rio/Sao Paulo and getting a seat sale to anywhere in the States? Once in the States, it is not that hard to find a cheap flight to Houston, so I just need to get to the States - Miami, LA, New York, etc.

Any other ideas people have?

Thank you!

I was wondering if it was safe for me to bring my roller skates to skate at Ibirapuera park? I wouldn't skate there, but if I bring it with me and roller skate inside the park is this safe? I will be skating alone and I am a female. Please give me your opinions.

We are renting a car at Guarulhos and driving to Ubatuba. Any estimate of the time? How are the roads?

I understand the main highway is a toll road. How does that work?

We are going to Morumbi on May 27 to watch Sao Paulo vs. Palmeiras. Is this a safe area? We are staying in Centro, so should we take a taxi? Any tips on Morumbi would be appreciated. What team should we cheer for? Thanks!

Hello,

I'll be flying domestic within Brazil, and am wondering if these connection times are possible. I'll be by myself with one carry-on bag only, and all flights will be on GOL.

Monday, April 30
Arrive CGH from GIG, 11:10AM
Depart CGH for CGR (Campo Grande), 11:45AM
(35 minutes!)

Friday, May 4
Arrive GRU from CGR, 9:30AM
Depart GRU for MAO (Manaos), 10:35AM
(65 minutes seems reasonable??)


Many thanks, in advance. Everyone's help is appreciated.

I know that Sao Paulo may not be as big of a futbol city as Rio de Janeiro, but can some give tips on watching a game in Sao Paulo? Is there a wild/fun following for the local team?

Thanks,

I need to get from Sao Paulo to Panama, and then from Panama all the way to Mexico through Central America. Please give me any advice regarding the best/cheapest mode of transport(Planes/trains/busses/etc.) between those countries. It does not have to be the quickest way to travel, but certainly the cheapest.

We will be in Sao Paulo for 4 days. Is a trip to Iguazu Falls possible? If so, what is the cheapest, fast way to get there.

Thanks!

Hello,

Is anyone going to be in Sao Paulo from 24th June to the 14th July?

I will be staying within Jardim Paulista area. It is my first time to Sao Paulo. I am female and 24 years old and travelling by myself. From reading various safety tips, it seems SP is more dangerous than Rio de Janeiro.

I am really looking forward to my trip, but maybe it would be a good idea if i made friends with anyone who is also visiting the city or lives there locally.

Thanks for reading my post :)

Hiii..

I will be visiting Sao Paulo around the 14th of April, can you please advise where is the best and safe area to stay?? am 29 and would really like to hang out for dining and clubbing.. so the place should be really good

Thanks,
