PARQUE BURLE MARX<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Burle Marx Park<\/em><\/strong>, unlike Ibirapuera Park which is the best known in the capital of S\u00e3o Paulo, has a more contemplative proposal and not just leisure and fun. The space does not provide an area for cycling, skateboarding or playing ball, for example. The park was created with the function of preserving a section of the
Atlantic Forest still present in the city. The highlight of the park are the artistic panels integrated into the gardens, both created by landscaper Roberto Burle Marx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
