Pacaembu Stadium, Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil Estádio Municipal Paulo Machado de Carvalho, colloquially known as Estádio do Pacaembu (Portuguese pronunciation: [isˈtadʒiu du pakaẽˈbu]) is a football and rugby union stadium in São Paulo, located in the Pacaembu neighborhood. The stadium is owned by the Municipal Prefecture of São Paulo. The stadium was inaugurated on 27 April 1940, in the presence of the Brazilian President Getúlio Vargas, the intervener Adhemar de Barros and the mayor of São Paulo, Prestes Maia. The stadium holds 40,199 people and its pitch dimensions are 104 m of length by 70 m of width.
The stadium is named after Paulo Machado de Carvalho. He was the 1958 FIFA World Cup Brazilian delegation chief, the founder of Rede Record, one of the largest television networks in Brazil and was known as "Marechal da Vitória" (Marshal of Victory).
Pacaembu is frequently used to host home matches of the Big 4 football clubs of the State of São Paulo, of which Corinthians, Palmeiras and São Paulo are based in the capital city itself, and only Santos is based in a different city. This occurs when the clubs must cede their own stadiums for concerts, or when reforms are being made. In the case of Santos, Pacaembu is also used when the club requires a site with a higher seating capacity for a particular match, given the low capacity of their own stadium.

Liberdade, Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo, Brazil The Japanese presence in the neighborhood began in 1912. At this time, Japanese immigrants began to take up residence on the street of Count Sarzedas.[2] This street had a steep slope that gave way to a running stream and swamp area. Basement apartments were numerous and inexpensive, and groups of people or families often lived together in the small rooms. However, the central location of the neighborhood meant immigrants could also be closer to work. As the number of immigrants in the neighborhood grew, so did commercial activity. Soon Japanese-owned inns, emporiums, restaurants, shops, and markets were popping up. These new commercial endeavors also become workplaces, which brought more immigrants to the area, and thus the "street of the Japanese" was formed.

It is speculated that the cathedral would be ready for the celebrations of the fourth centenary of Sao Paulo in 1954. In fact, it was inaugurated incomplete on that date without the towers. Only it was completed in 1970. The works were played by Alexandre Albuquerque until 1940 and, thereafter, at Anhaia Melo engineer.

In the first decades of the twentieth century, it was the main gateway to the city of São Paulo. His greatest importance, however, was provided economic infrastructure for the country, passed by the coffee to be exported at the port of Santos, as well as there came consumer goods and capital imports that supplied the city (in an under-industrialized phase). The current station was built between 1895 and 1901, instead of the original Light of 1867. Presumably chosen in an English catalog by local authorities, the metal structure of cast iron that supports it was brought from England, through pre pieces molded and assembled here - Masonry station, however, is locally sourced. Its design is attributed to Henry Driver English engineer and similar to Flinders Street Station, an existing station in Melbourne, Australia. 20 minutes

We had a great day, we would never have been able to navigate the city in one day like we did with Mauro. Got to see lots of highlights of the city. One of our favourite things was going to the local market for lunch and trying out the local foods. The art gallery was also very cool.

We had a 12 hour layover and we’re desperate to not have to spend the entire time in the airport. This was so great! We went to the contemporary museum for lunch and views of the city and then headed to the fútbol museum where our kids had a blast. So happy this worked out. The van was super nice. My kids thought they were rock stars.

Great layover tour to spend a few hours to have a brief visit to São Paulo. Our guide Mauro was excellent. He gave us an in-depth explanation of the city . We thoroughly enjoyed his company. Wish we could have him as our guide in the future when we visit SP again.
