Hello,
I will be in Sao Paulo the 24st of april. We will travel from Sao Paulo to Foz Iguazu. Before making the bus trip to Foz we would like to spend a few days ( 2 - 3 days) near Sao Paulo. We've already visited Sao Paulo several times.
Are there nice places to visit in the surroundings of Sao Paulo ( 2 or 3 hours by bus is no problem ) or places to visit on the way from Sao Paulo to Foz ?
Thank you .

When is the coolest time of year to visit Sao Paulo?

I'll be in Sao Paulo from April 5th until April 9th in a business trip. Could somebody recommend if it is possible to attend to some samba show which reproduces the Carnival atmosphere? If I'm not wrong, I heard that some samba schools have permanent groups of musicians and dancers that organize performances and shows outside of Carnival season. As alternative, is there any good show to enjoy the authentic brazilian folkclore? Thanks in advance

I'm flying into Sao Paolo for work but would like to go to Rio de Janeiro afterwards. Is it possilbe to drive and if so how far is it. I've read some things that say there is a nice coastal route vs. the inland route. What is the best way to go? Also, what are some nice beaches around Rio to stay at that are not as crowded. Thanks!

My wife and I are traveling to Maresias in mid Feb. I would appreciate recommendations with regard to reasonable hotels with ocean view. Also would like to know if there are any recommended day trips... my wife and I enjoy beach, history, diving and fishing. Regarding transportation, are taxis available or can I rent scooter or car for 3-4 days.

We will be arriving at night at Guarulhos Airport from Salvador Bahia. We will rent a car and then drive to a hotel for the night. Does anyone know a hotel that is within short and easy driving distance from the airport?
Is it difficult to get to the Ibis Guarulhos? Is that one pretty close? Any other suggestions? @#e are leaving within a week, so a quick reply would be appreciated.

I arrive in Sao Paulo (GRU) on a Tuesday at 9:45 am from Canada where I've connected in Newark on a Continental Airlines flight. I have 55 minutes to get a connecting flight to Rio (GIG). Do I have enough time? Do I clear customs in Sao Paulo? I've read things about being fingerprinted and photographed. Does that apply to me? I'm thinking of just having a carry-on bag and no checked luggage. Will this speed things up?

HOw long that is take to go from Guarulhos airport to rodoviaria in Sao Paulo?
by taxi and by bus.
I'm arriving @ 23:10 and want to take a Leito @ 00:40. Do you think I'm gonna have time?? (I'm going to Rio)
Thanks

I shall much appreciate opinions on the value of an excursion to Sao Paulo from Santos as part of a cruise. It is $190. Canadian/US and lasts 8 hours. Pick up and return to the ship.
Places planned in the tour are, The historic district, Patteo do Collegio, Catederal da Se, Mosteiro de Sao Bento, Jardins, Pauista Ave., Ibirapuera Park. Some shopping on Oscar Freire St. or Ibirapuera Mall. Lunch at a local restaurant is included and I'm sure it will be a very good one.
Thougts anyone?
Many thanks

My daughter and her boyfriend are scheduled to fly from Rio to Sao Paulo Congonhas Airport arriving around 5:30 pm. They are scheduled to fly home to Los Angeles from GRU airport at 9:05 pm. I understand there is a shuttle but a will they have enough time to make their flight home if it is rush hour? We can rebook to a much earlier flight from Rio that flies directly into GRU around 2:00 pm and they will have to wait for the 9.05pm flight. What do you recommend is the best option?
