The Pteridophyte Symposium will be held in São Paulo, Brazil
São Paulo is the largest city in South America and plays an important role in world commerce, finance, arts, and gastronomy. São Paulo is a global city that is prepared with many accommodation, food, and entertainment options. Most tourist areas, airports, and subway lines are well indicated in both Portuguese and English. Spanish speakers will be understood by many "paulistanos" (São Paulo inhabitants) due to the similarity to Portuguese. |

Airports
Three main airports serve São Paulo. The primary international airport is Guarulhos Airport (GRU), located in the city of Guarulhos. Viracopos Airport (VCP) is located in the city of Campinas and is farther from São Paulo than Guarulhos. Congonhas Airport (CGH) is inside the city and the closest to our event, but unfortunately international flights to Congonhas are rare.
All the airports have transportation services to the main places of the city at different rates and are attended by regular taxi services and transportation applications like Uber, 99, and Cabify.
