----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Nazare' Paulista is located NNE of Sao Paulo city, about 54 K. from downtown. Idon't think I have ever been to Nazare', but used to live about an hour/hour anda half away in Campinas, Sao Paulo state. Travel time would depend on road conditions, foothills, and traffic conditions. Nazare' is not on a major hwy.
