Unfortunately, it is easy to get some information about SP city, but it is hard to know what possibilities you have in SP state. I was digging a little bit, an in principle you have nice outdoor activities within SP state. For example, PETAR has a unique system of caves, and Brotas is 'the' place for rafting, hikking, horse riding etc. Mountains and beaches are in reach, so if you come to the city, try to see something around the city.

Well, if you have not been to Japan and want to get a glimpse of it, you can actually do this in SP. 1 or 2 million japanese live in the city, and their presence can be seen in countless japanese restaurants as well as in some japanese gardens, temples and buildings within the city. In July, they celebrate their festival in the city, but there are always some activities around the year (e.g. 'Ikebana' exhibitions). More about the history of the japanese people of SP can be found in a very interesting museum. Also, in Itapuera da Sera, a small city close to SP, you find a japanese temple which is a copy of the famous Kinkaku-ji ('Gold') Temple in Kyoto.
