SAO PAULO

An unknown and inaccessible world

An episode from the series UP! ON THE ROOFS OF...

Synopsis

Sao Paulo embodies the new face of Brazil, but to grasp this city, you must go up.

The capital embodies the country's craziness and contradiction with its 12 million inhabitants, 6,500 buildings, and hundreds of deprived neighborhoods. Gentrified boroughs favored by a few wealthy people border favelas housing more than 100,000 inhabitants. Masterpieces of contemporary architecture sit next to one of the most beautiful Gothic cathedrals in the world.

And the roofs offer another dimension with athletic tracks, swimming pools, helipads, or lush gardens. Everything denotes and surprises in Sao Paulo.
