Interlagos, Residential district between Guarapiranga and Billings reservoirs in São Paulo, Brazil.
Interlagos is a residential district in São Paulo built along slopes between two large reservoirs, with middle-class homes and shops serving daily needs. Schools, shopping centers, and transport connections to downtown are spread throughout the area.
The neighborhood began in 1926 as a real estate project by Louis Romero Sanson, who planned a suburb with sports facilities between two reservoirs. This original vision still shapes how the area is organized and used today.
The neighborhood has deep ties to motorsports because of the nearby racing circuit, which shapes local businesses and community life. This connection gives the area a distinct character that residents and visitors notice.
The area is accessible by Avenida Interlagos and has several public transportation options connecting it to the rest of the city. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the terrain is hilly and walking can involve steep stretches.
The changing elevations throughout the neighborhood allow views of both artificial lakes from many points. This higher elevation also keeps temperatures several degrees cooler than downtown São Paulo.
