Ibirapuera Parque - São Paulo Brazil


  An excellent place to visit as part of the post-surgery treatment.

Parque Ibirapuera is one of the most visited parks for the citizens of Sao Paulo and tourists for all reasons that are quite understandable. The main city park is fun to visit late afternoons or early mornings. Locals go there to jog and walk around the lake. Free concerts, sponsored by the city hall, are common on weekends.

Inaugurated in 1954 to celebrate the city's fourth birthday, and designed by famous architect Oscar Niemeyer together with the noted landscape architect Roberto Burle Marx, Ibirapuera Park covers an area of almost two million meters and is São Paulo's equivalent to New York City's Central Park.

It is located at Avenida Pedro Alvares Cabral(name of Portuguese explorer who discovered Brazil), with free admission and is open everyday from 5 in the morning until ten at night. The park’s many paths twist between lawns, gardens and ponds. It’s really quite a pretty place with some interesting looking plant life and colorful birds.

Both the Modern Art and Contemporary Art museums are found here, along with the Ibirapuera Planetarium and the Japanese Pavilion, as well as the famous obelisk and the Monumento às Bandeiras. The monument( Monumento as Bandeiras) is quite impressive. You will also be capable to see the monument to Formula 1 deceased driver,Ayrton Senna. It's bronze monument of him with a stainless steel car. Senna was a world famous Formula 1 racer whom died in a terrible race in 1994 in San Marino. He is a true hero to all Brazilians.
