The Macuco Safari offers a tour in two stages:

Macuco selva: a 2 km ride, in electric vehicles, bilingual guides explain the sights of the fauna and flora. The tour is open to the general public, organized in the American style: 2 hours.

Boat tour: a twin-engine boat goes up the Iguaçu River to get close to the falls. Tour of 1 hour and 40 minutes, departures every 15 minutes. This excursion is nice without being extraordinary. Very touristy, we take you under the falls for a refreshing bath. A little Disneyland, some will like it.

Few tourists stay in São Paulo for long, let alone to play golf. The São Paulo Golf Club is a superb 18-hole golf course, quite far from the city centre, but in a large green park. The blue color of the ruffled ipês contrasts with the immaculate green of the greens. It is the oldest golf club in Brazil with a respectable age of 120 years. It was certainly initiated by the large and economically influential British community at the time. The club hosts a few tournaments throughout the year. For the expatriates, it is worth knowing.

Afro-Brazilian heritage, capoeira is a martial art practiced by slaves who had disguised it as a "dance" to get around the prohibition of the masters. The capoeira school "Mestre Bimba", named after the great master of the same name, is run by Dona Dalva, for the dance part, and Mestre Nenel and is open to visitors. On Tuesday and Friday evenings the players present a show of capoeira regional (faster) maculelê dance and samba. You can take lessons, of course. A must see. The school works with young people in difficulty.
