Scenic places and National Parks Brazil
 

What are scenic places to visit and nice parks near Sao Paulo and Guaruja? Other than Iguazu Falls, are there any other major national parks and scenic places that may not be near Sao Paulo but are must visits for first timers?

Are there areas that are not so safe?

Is it hard to drive in Brazil? Or better to take bus tours?

The South America forum doesn't see much traffic theses days and the Brazil section, very little. I would seek info on the Tripadvisor, Brazil forum
