Brazil São

State of São Paulo

A major economic and industrial hub in Brazil known for its vast coffee plantations, cultural diversity, and the largest city in South America.

Tips from the community

Despite Brazil electing a leader who is outwardly intolerant towards the LGBTQIA+ community, São Paulo refuses to follow suit. The black sheep of the country, here you can find one of the biggest Pride festivals where three to four million people take to the streets to celebrate! If dancing is your thing, there are countless clubs where you can dance to Brazilian funk and samba until the early hours. All of this said, it would feel irresponsible to not express some caution while traveling through the city. Though tolerant, general safety should be taken into consideration when out and about.
