"Parque Villa-Lobos, located in the Alto de Pinheiros neighborhood, receives around 8,000 visitors a day during the week, with up to 60,000 visitors passing through the park on weekends. Villa-Lobos has a forest with species from the Mata Atlântica rainforest; numerous sports facilities, including football pitches and outdoor gym equipment; and various food outlets scattered around the park. A park highlight is the Circuito das Árvores (Circuit of the Trees), where visitors can walk along a nearly 400-foot-long, 12-foot-high pathway. You can identify dozens of tree and bird species along the way. The Orquidário Ruth Cardoso is an orchidarium where you can see the park’s beautiful collection of orchids. The park is open every day from 5:30 AM to 7:00 PM." - MATADOR_NETWORK
