Pedro Gancho’s São Paulo Sabbatical

Portuguese entrepreneur Pedro Gancho, the visionary behind the fast-growing housing startup Inlife, returns to São Paulo for the fourth time—this time for a sabbatical stay. Seeking fresh inspiration for his startup and a change of pace, Pedro chooses Pinheiros, one of the city’s most dynamic and trendsetting neighborhoods, as his base. Joined by his fiancée, Inês, he spends the month uncovering both new spots and timeless gems in the heart of Brazil’s bustling cultural capital.
