A Tour of Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil

We followed interconnecting paths that let us walk around the ponds. The paths are often used by runners and walkers, enjoying a respite from the city. On the edge of the water we saw flocks of Australian Black Swans and Chinese Geese. Our trail took us by many varied types of trees including the Paran谩 pine, a莽a铆 palm, ficus trees and many more.

The popular Paulista Avenue, known for its high end shopping is at the heart of Jardins. In addition to shops there are many good restaurants on or near Paulista.
