Jardim Botanico de Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo

A good place to get away from the city landscape and making a picnic. The garden is pretty, but the structures need retrofit. For some reason many pregnant women go there for photoshoots, I was very intrigued.

Great place to relax and enjoy nature. Usually not crowded. You need to pay to get in, but it's not expensive. Unfortunaly, there are some places that need repair and the park's administration haven't taken any decision, but it's still worth it!

every time I've been here I discover something new. and this time was as wonderful as ever. this is one of the best places in Sao Paolo to relax and unwind and spend the entire day enjoying nature. and collect some lemon grass for tea too. from the herb garden. walking all the way to the end of the parks trails to the old adobe wooden house and continuing to the wooden bridge that is very long. the narrow wooden bridge is about 30 to 40 minutes from beginning to the end and back. it's like being In an enchanted Forrest. there are three benches along the way to sit and enjoy the cicadas and butterflies and other wildlife. and occasional small animal. monkeys. here an there. there is running water. and fresh water from a faucet along the trails that is potable. a nice cafe restaurant with a variety of good food and snacks and ice cream too. it's buffet style. as is customary In Brazil you only pay for what you place on your plate as they weigh your plate to charge you. it's very cheap to come here for two of us 22 reals parking and entrance.

Not quite up to par with Rio's version, but a great place for a weekend picnic, despite its remote location. CASH ONLY (R$6/person), make sure you bring with you.

The second best green spot in SP, after Ibirapuera.
