Full description

Start your tour at Largo do Aroche, a bohemian neighborhood community in São Paulo. Through the bike paths, explore the region recognized for its classic restaurants, bars, and murals of urban art. Continue to Bom Retiro, a traditional immigrant neighborhood and a region with influence from the textile industry. You will visit the Luz station (train), the Pinacoteca (museum), and Parque da Luz, the first public park in São Paulo. Depending on the day and the movement of the region, you will pass through the Municipal Market, to taste some exotic Brazilian fruits. Next, you will pass the historical center, and the Vale do Anhangabaú. After visiting the squares, streets, and alleys of the historic center, you will head to Liberdade, a region known as the Japanese neighborhood with a lot of oriental influence and stories related to the Afro-Brazilian community.

Raul was an excellent guide to downtown Sao Paulo. He is very friendly and well educated on the history of the city and how the colonial legacy of Brazil contributed to the ongoing social issues impacting marginalized communities. I highly recommend this tour.

We did not make it to the Liberdade neighborhood because the guide said it was too busy on Saturday. Great tour. I would go again! I learned a lot, and had a lot of fun! It was just me and the guide was very kind and respectful of any needs or requests that I had. There is no better way to see the city if you like bikeriding!!!
