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.
