Create an itinerary including Parque Ibirapuera

Home to various museums and monuments, Parque Ibirapuera is one of the city’s most important recreational and cultural areas. This green area features sprawling areas designated for picnicking, jogging, cycling, and walking. The park’s importance to the city, locals claim, is comparable to that of Central Park to the residents of New York City. One of Latin America’s largest urban parks, the site opened in 1954 to mark the 400th anniversary of the city. Many of the park’s buildings were designed by famed architect Oscar Niemeyer, while the landscaped green zones were planned by agronomist Otávio Agusto de Teixeira Mendes. The park is home to the Museum of Modern Art, Museum of Contemporary Art, and the iconic Obelisk of Sao Paolo, symbol of Brazil’s Constitutional Revolution.

Do not leave São Paulo without visiting this park. The park is extremely beautiful and large with so much to see. The natural beauty is very hard to describe and show in photos. There are also several great local food vendors here, with some very nice picnic areas. Definitely a nice break from the cityscape of São Paulo.

Pretty park with lush grounds. We rented the bikes they offer and rode around the place. The bikes for 2 are $4/hr! And the bicycles are $2/hr. Lots of carts selling fresh coconut juice, and other snacks. Plenty spots to have a picnic. Stopped at a restaurant there, with very friendly service. The restrooms very clean too! 👍

This is a large park that provides plenty of space for running, cycling, picnics, walking... There's a large play area for families with children, a beautiful lake with ducks, sufficient clean restrooms,and a few places to eat. Weekends are especially popular.

Everyone says this is a must but its not must see. Nothing iconic, just a nice park to walk around and be in semi nature for an hour or two. Park is free so that's a plus. Good to see locals exercising and taking a break to enjoy their lives. Aa a tourist, if you skip it you don't miss much.

I haven't taken time to go round this park because it is quite large. One of, of not the biggest leisure park in the whole of Brazil. Its so beautiful and natural with lots of fun activities to do within the grounds. A fantastic place to bring your kids too. It's not a place you can explore and appreciate in a day. I will definitely be back again!
