🇧🇷 São Paulo Layover Adventure

🛄 Logistics Bag Storage: Expensive! Paid R$150 (~¥193) for 1 large + 1 small suitcase at T3 Arrivals lockers. Transport: Uber everywhere—safe, cheap, and efficient. 📍 Must-Visit Spots 1️⃣ São Paulo Cathedral ⛪ Stunning but surrounded by aggressive homeless/drug users (unlike the U.S.). 📸 Only dared to take photos near police officers. The contrast between the sacred interior and chaotic square is surreal. 2️⃣ Beco do Batman (Batman Alley) 🎨 Safe and vibrant! Famous for its Batman graffiti, but every wall is an Instagram backdrop. 3️⃣ Avenida Paulista 🏙️ "Fifth Avenue of Brazil"—skyscrapers, luxury shops, and the 1000th McDonald's (drive-by photo op!). ⚠️ Closed on Mondays: Missed the viewpoint but enjoyed the skyline from the car. 4️⃣ Ibirapuera Park 🌳 São Paulo’s Central Park—joggers, picnics, and the Bandeiras Monument. So peaceful! 🍧 Must-Try Food Açaí Bowl (Last pic!) ❌ Not too sweet, perfectly refreshing in the heat. Final Thoughts: São Paulo is intense but fascinating. Worth a layover visit—just stay alert, use Uber, and avoid flashy items. Next stop: Chile! 🗻 #BrazilTravel #SaoPauloDiaries #TravelSafe #AçaíBowl #UrbanExplorer ✈️🌆
