About the place

Paulista Avenue spans the ridge between the central core and the southern districts.

The thoroughfare runs northwest to southeast across the plateau, anchored by Praça Marechal Cordeiro de Farias at Rua da Consolação on one end and Praça Oswaldo Cruz on the other. It intersects key cross streets including Rua Augusta, Rua Haddock Lobo, and Avenida Brigadeiro Luís Antônio while passing through Paraíso, Jardim Paulista, Cerqueira César, and Jardim América before reaching Higienópolis.
