    Off The Beaten Path: VIEWS YOU WILL PROBABLY DON'T PAY ATTETION
  • Tip Rating:
  • Visiting a megacity as Sao Paulo will probably make you cross the streets in an automatically way,running to your business meeting(usually tourism in Sao Paulo are business trips),or even if you plann to visit places like the Municipal Theater or the historical "Patio Do Colegio"(the city was founded by the "jesuits"priests as a mission center,today called "patio do colegio"),I'm not sure how much you'll pay attetion to the small details on the facades or ornamentations,so,to make your life easier,here I show some architectonic aspects of these sites..
    Besides,I'll add some shoots from downtown.
    One here(patio do colegio),more in my travelogue!
