Few hours from Sao Paulo you find Curitiba, a clean and nearly european city.
The name "Curitiba" comes from the Tupi - language and referres to the trees, Araucarias, but that already is past. You can find Araucarias here and there, but it certainly would be possible to do more for those gigantic wonderful trees, especially plant them in parks and free spaces in the city.
Curitiba is well known for it's public transport, where you can reach each spot of the city by public busses. Well, you need a lot of time doing it. We have not spent so much time in another place in South America waiting for the bus connection. Many bus stops are made for handycappeds and the passengers are protected against the weather by big plastic tubes.
In the center there is a nice pedestrian zone with different shops.
We did not really enjoy the botanic garden, the famous hot house was empty and the garden looked like an ordinary park. But maybe things change.
We liked the Oscar Niemayer - Museum a lot. There you have different exhibitions.

It is said that the city does some campaigns as: gratis sterilisation of street cats and dogs and finding families for them. Also exchange about 10 kg rubbish to 5 kg fresh vegetables. We think that is really great and unique in Brazil.
