36 Hours In Sao Paulo, Brazil
The New York Times has a great article on a whirlwind 36 hour trip to the “ugliest, most dangerous city you’ll ever love.”
Several airlines fly between New York and S�o Paulo, including American, Delta, Continental, Japan Airlines and the Brazilian airline TAM. A recent online search found fares starting at $890 for early November. Better deals can sometimes be found through BACC (800-222-2746; www.bacctravel.com), a New York City travel agency specializing in travel to Brazil.
The NYT recommends beginning with Culture Park to engage in some art, pickup some Brazilian-style beer (chopp), and head over to the 24 hour food market. Americans should make sure to cut through visa red tape while planning a trip since it’s still relatively dollar-friendly – or just take E-Dubs’ word for it!

Playa Sonrisa (official website) on the Caribbean coast of Mexico is for true nudists/naturists and even offers a 15% discount for naturist club members, such as AANR members. They have beach front bungalows and rooms for accommodations, naked snorkeling and even have a restaurant.
