Warnings

IPEN campus is a closed and controlled area, and we assure you that it is absolutely secure. The campus of USP is being patrolled by local police. The region near WZ hotel is calm and mostly safe as well. Nevertheless, one should avoid walking alone in São Paulo, especially in the night time. Moreover, we encourage you to use cautiously cameras and other devices of the kind anywhere outside the IPEN campus.
