Monumento às Bandeiras
Av. Pedro Álvares Cabral, s/n - Vila Mariana, São Paulo - SP, 04094-050, Brazil
A grand monument to the brave bandeirantes — pioneers who explored Brazil's interior in the 17th-18th centuries! This stunning monument made of 240 granite blocks was created by the great sculptor Victor Brecheret for São Paulo's 400th anniversary. The sculptural group depicts a mixed expedition of Portuguese, indigenous people, Africans, and mamelucos pulling a canoe. Located right at the entrance to Ibirapuera Park — the perfect spot for impressive photos!
