Twenty years ago on a business trip to Brazil, I arrived in Sao Paolo on a Saturday morning and took a car to spend the weekend in the city of Santos on the coast before beginning my work week in Sao Paolo on Monday.
The initial part of the drive was on the plain on which Sao Paolo and its suburbs sit at about 2500 feet above sea level. Suddenly, we entered a heavily forested area as the descent to the coast began. This was the Rodovia dos Imigrantes with its 44 viaducts, seven bridges, and eleven tunnels on its nearly 40 mile stretch. The startling part of the drive was when I realized we were on an elevated highway high above the coastal rain forest, a beautiful and stunning experience.
