Socorro (Portuguese for "Help" or "Aid") is a district in southern São Paulo, Brazil. Originally part of the Santo Amaro district, it is now part of the subprefecture of Capela do Socorro. Both the Guarapiranga and Billings Reservoirs are located in the district, making it a popular location for the practice of nautical sports. Between the two reservoirs lies the Autódromo Interlagos, which hosts the Brazilian Grand Prix and Formula One races.

Education

Colégio Humboldt São Paulo, a German international school, is located in Interlagos in Socorro.[2]
