This is a very beautiful and well maintained place with lots of nice shaded spots to take photos and plenty of photo moments to be had if you’re so inclined! One thing I would have liked to have seen more of was signage. There was plenty of general signage about the areas (in Portuguese of course so get your translator ready if you don’t speak the language!) but none specifically for trees and plants. Overall enjoyable, and we spent around 90 minutes wandering around.

Food is amazingly good. Restaurant has incredible views of the mountains and valley, beautiful scenery. Menu is very wide, portions are well served. Staff and service also very attentive and nice. One can also visit the gardens in a park at the restaurant, which is also very much worth the time.

Beautiful Park. There you can find thematic gardens ( the theme is the different gardens you can find in different countries). There is a garden Jurassic park themed (they are still building it). It's a good place for a walk or to bring your kids. The landscape is breathtaking!
Juliana I — Google review
A beautiful place to spend some time on, the park has some theme gardens onsite. They also have a restaurant and a souvenirs store. Visits can be guided if you prefer. Its on a mountain so 1.2km up and then 1.2km down. It has some animals (macaw parrot e.g.) and a lot of good spots for making photos. The ticket to visit the park costs BRL 30 (Feb/2020), there's also a quad bike trail (BRL 100). The visit on foot will take you something as 2 hours going up with a guide and down taking photos by yourself.

(Translated by Google) The Room of Promises at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aparecida is a place of deep emotion and spiritual significance. Decorated with thousands of objects left by the faithful in fulfillment of promises and in gratitude for the graces received, the room is a tangible testimony to the faith and devotion that permeate this sacred place. Each item displayed there tells a story of faith, devotion and hope, representing the desires and graces received by the devotees. Upon entering this space, visitors are enveloped by an atmosphere of gratitude and humility, reinforcing the importance of spirituality in their lives. The Room of Promises is, therefore, a meeting place between the sacred and the human, where individual stories are intertwined in a tapestry of faith and devotion to Our Lady of Aparecida. (Original) A Sala das Promessas no Santuário de Nossa Senhora Aparecida é um lugar de profunda emotividade e significado espiritual. Decorada com milhares de objetos deixados pelos fiéis em cumprimento de promessas e em agradecimento às graças recebidas, a sala é um testemunho tangível da fé e da devoção que permeiam esse local sagrado. Cada item ali exposto conta uma história de fé, devoção e esperança, representando os desejos e as graças alcançadas pelos devotos. Ao adentrar nesse espaço, os visitantes são envolvidos por uma atmosfera de gratidão e humildade, reforçando a importância da espiritualidade em suas vidas. A Sala das Promessas é, portanto, um lugar de encontro entre o sagrado e o humano, onde as histórias individuais se entrelaçam em uma tapeçaria de fé e devoção à Nossa Senhora Aparecida.

It was bigger than o ever imagined. It’s like an entire city, it takes hours to walk around and be able to appreciate every detail. Lots of stores inside and restaurants. With the Covid-19 restrictions, we couldn’t see more of the inside details but it was worth it. They have mass every hour and multiple locations as well. I loved it. Perfect to buy gifts and there more attractions outside the Basilica as well. The entire city is filled with attractions and even the cities nearby.

This should be included in the must visit places in Brazil. The cathedral is huge and very beautiful. The dome ia decorated with paintings of Brazilian fauna.

The parish priest tried to prevent a large flock of faithful to pray the Holy Rosary in front of the church. This had been announced days in advance. Instead he purposely rang all of the church bells, to make so much noise that nobody could understand a word - it was a wonderful experience to pray the Holy Rosary under such circumstance, against the orders of the pastor! *Shame on this parish pastor!*

Praia do Massaguaçu is a wide sandy beach located about 11 kilometers from the center of Caraguatatuba. It's an ideal area for travelers with their own transportation who seek tranquility and prefer less crowded places. The beach offers a good range of local businesses but is quieter than other commercial areas in the city, with its sandy stretch often being sparsely occupied.
Good place to see the Nature. The beach is beautiful but pay attention. If you don't know how to swim... Don't swim. Else. Good surf. Good waterfalls.

What I liked: - the town and the beach looked reasonably not too crowded, allowing us to find easily space for ourselves on the beach and at the restaurant What I did not like: - the town is in fact just a short road with some bars and restaurants, but there is not a real attraction to visit after the beach.
Andrea R — Google review
Nice beach with some structure and some beach-facing things like restaurants. > Traffic to arrive may be terrible, so pay attention to the period you're visiting. Going on off-season periods is better. > It's not the cleanest beach, but water is good enough for swimming. > You will need to consume (eat or drink) to rent the umbrella and chairs. When I went there it was BRL30 consumption per person. > In comparison to other local beaches, I felt very safe in there. People were friendly and never hostile in any sense.

Cachoeira do Tobogã, located a short drive away from Paraty, is a unique waterfall where the water flows over a stone to form a natural slide and pool. To reach this attraction, visitors can take a bus from Rodoviaria de Paraty to the neighborhood of Penha. The highlight of the place is the surfing stone that adds an element of entertainment for both locals and tourists.
Fantastic little place. Parking is only 50 meters away and it's not too crowded in winter. Friendly staff, amazing cocktails, the kids were entertained for hours. Their Jorge Amado Caipirinha is my new favourite cocktail.
Mathias S — Google review
A place where you want to take a swim or at least walk in water, especially on a very hot day. To get to the place, you need to walk a bit, but I wouldn't even call it a hike. It's a nice walk through a forest. No tickets to get to the falls are needed.
Jana K — Google review
This was amazing! Definitely a must visit!! We went on a rainy day, which was actually perfect! Make sure to bring your swimsuit, because you can take incredible pics here! (it may have been due to the rain, but we did not pay for entrance. I think I saw a sign that normally there is an entrance fee but we’re not sure as the desk was closed)
Ronald M — Google review
Around 100 metres from the church at Penha you will arrive at the river where the rock formation is used by locals and tourists as a slide. A few steps to the middle of the river where you can slide down! It is so much fun and the locals even surf down it. It’s free admission and there are small pool formations at the bottom, middle and top for refreshing. Definitely work a visit if you’re staying in Paraty. You definitely do not need a guide; we caught the o local bus from Paraty bus station for R$5 per person to Penha, you can’t miss it.
Kara H — Google review
I didn't expect much from this local attraction but to be honest I was absolutely blown away by it! It was extreme fun watching locals pulling off incredible tricks as well as sliding yourself. It is quite bigger than in the pictures and don't worry it is absolutely safe though there are spots on the slide that can be quite painful. But no worries, nothing too serious! The locals are there to help you slide. Ask them to take you into the waterfall right next to it. You can enter the waterfall, chill inside and then slide out again. Amazing experience! It is all for free but if you appreciate locals' help, you can give them a tip in the tip jar hanging on the tree next to the slide. Absolutely recommended to anyone staying in Paraty! Taxis will take you here for about 40 Reals.
TxicoTxeco — Google review
Such a fun experience! Paid R$20 for parking and there are toilets in the car park you can use and don’t have to pay extra for when you pay for parking. 5 min walk to the bottom of the waterfalls. 5 min climb up to the top. 2 life guards helping people slide down the waterfalls (it’s like a natural water slide). There is a restaurant at the top which we didn’t go to but it looked nice!

Established by a passionate group of oceanographers in 1994, this aquarium features around 70 species across its various enclosures, including Brazil's largest saltwater tank. Visitors can marvel at fascinating creatures like crabs, octopuses, sharks, and even Magellanic penguins from Patagonia.

Very nice manageable size for children. We saw species we'd never seen before and there is a beautiful shell collection. The tide exhibit was fun. The petting pool was a new experience too. There's a nicely decorated cafe (we got a free coffee with a family ticket) overlooking a play area outside on the promenade. The recycling exhibit was overly sombre at the end of the tour.
Rachel C — Google review
The visit is very pleasant and the path is interesting with posters and exhibitions. The place is not very big but there are spectacular types of marine animals. I suggest to avoid peak time as it could be stressing waiting in the queue. Near the exit, you can touch a number of live examples like the star fish, pepino do mar, etc. There is a small restaurant inside, which can also serve people not in the aquarium from the side overlooking the beach.

Praia do Tenório is a well-equipped beach in the northern coast of Sao Paulo, attracting tourists year-round with its excellent infrastructure and natural beauty. Despite its small size, it's popular among families seeking a great spot for swimming and offering everything visitors need. Nestled in a paradise bay just south of Praia Vermelha, this beach boasts stunning coast mountains, powdery sands, and gentle waves perfect for swimming due to protection from the western headland.
This place is amazing and you must include in your list if you are visiting Ubatuba. Caiçara Bar on the beach is very nice too. Prices are okay and the service as well. Friendly staffs and good portions. I highly recommend Célio Açaí, he is an independent seller walking around and sometimes staying nearby Caiçara bar. He is lovely, very polite and really cares about his potential customers. I highly recommend you to go early as it is has small car parking and tend to be busy. The cost for the parking is 20 reais(2,80€). I hope you visit this place, let me know how was your experience if you do.

Really nice beach, standing out from southern ones. Can be reached by regular cars, despite the final 4 km of dirt road. Two big paid parking areas almost by the beach. Well served with a restaurant and beach vendors. Tons of blackflies, though: make sure to take any body oil to spread, which is the only effective protection against them - insect repellents only lasts few minutes.

Covered in plastic seats, no decent food options, the only one available is too expensive for what it offers. And make sure to put on repellent otherwise you get butchered by some nasty insects. Road there is pretty unaccessible too if you don't have a 4×4. Not worth it.

Visitors can also opt for a speed boat from Praia do Meio if they prefer not to hike. The beach is known for its tranquil atmosphere and natural beauty, making it a must-visit destination in the area.
Awesome place. If you are visiting Parati, Trindade is one of top places here to visit, specially the beach named “praia do meio” which is a nature reserve. There is no commerce here, only a place to take a boat to visit the natural swimming pool called cachadaço. This place is one that you want to visit here!

This beach is much more quiet than the more touristic Dos Ranchi's beach, only a short trail away! But what a change in the scenery, with the big rock and the waves splashing against the rocks in the next beach, which is also accessible via a trail. A must visit when in Trindade!

The hiking trail to Cachadaço Natural Pool in Trindade Village offers a serene and clean natural swimming experience among colorful fishes. The medium difficulty trail is well-marked with steps, handrails, and boardwalks over swampy areas. Accessible from the beach, the 30-minute walk is suitable for most visitors, although closed-toe shoes are recommended. For those seeking an alternative to the trail, boat transport is available for a fee.
(Translated by Google) Super easy trail! Even kids can do it. From this point on, it's a 15 to 20 minute walk, with some ups and downs to the natural pools. The trail starts at the end of Cachadaço beach. You can go by boat from Praia do Meio, I think it's R$40/50 round trip. You can go by trail and return by boat (R$20/30). (Original) Trilha super tranquila! Até criança faz. Deste ponto em diante são de 15 a 20 minutos, com algumas subidinhas e descidas até às piscinas naturais. O início da trilha é no final da praia do Cachadaço. Tem opção de ir de barco saindo da praia do meio, acho que tá R$40/50 ida e volta. Dá pra ir de trilha e voltar de barco (R$20/30).

From the end of last beach to the natural pool I walked 25 minutes one way (walking quickly but with flipflops on a really muddy ground). Easy to find, but not for a "beach stroll" - my friends returned halfway without visiting the pool. There are boats waiting in case you want to return by taxi boat.
Hahaha H — Google review
(Translated by Google) The trail will take you between 20 and 25 minutes. There are spots where you can stop to take photos and videos of the breathtaking scenery! In the natural pool area, which is a place where several huge rocks have gathered and the sea water gathers, meaning the water there is salty, forming a pool. No waves, no currents. Calm water, like a swimming pool, for you to enjoy. You'll see lots of fish swimming near you. It's totally worth it! For those who don't want to do the trail, because there are a lot of stairs, on the middle beach you can pay a man who stays there just for that purpose, with a boat, to take you there and bring you back. If I'm not mistaken, I believe the last time I went it was 50.00 round trip. You can also pay just to go, for example, and return by the trail. Then he'll only charge half. (Original) Para fazer a trilha você vai levar entre 20 e 25 minutos. Tem pontos onde você pode parar para tirar fotos e fazer vídeos da paisagem, que são de tirar o fôlego! Na área da piscina natural, que é um local onde várias pedras enormes se concentraram e junta água do mar, ou seja, a água ali é salgada, formando uma piscina. Sem onda do mar, sem correnteza. Água tranquila como uma piscina mesmo pra você curtir. Você vê muitos peixes nadando perto de você. Vale muito a pena! É pra quem não quer fazer a trilha, porque são muitas escadas, na praia do meio você pode pagar pra um homem que fica ali só pra isso, com um barco, pra te levar e trazer de volta. Salvo engano, acredito que na última vez em que fui estava 50,00 ida e volta. Você pode pagar também só pra ir, por exemplo, e voltar pela trilha. Aí ele cobra só metade.

(Translated by Google) The trail is of moderate to difficult level, especially during the rainy season, when it becomes quite slippery in parts. (Original) A trilha é de um nivel moderado a dificil, especialmente em periodo chuvoso, onde fica bem escorregadia em partes.

(Translated by Google) The trail is full of incredible views. It is an easy/moderate trail, but it can be very dangerous if it has rained. I do not recommend it for seniors who are not used to exercising. There are points where we go up and down slopes, and it can be tiring. It is a trail of about 1.5 km (including the walk to the beach). But in the end, it is worth it. The natural pool is wonderful, shallow water for swimming and there are beautiful fish. (Original) A trilha é repleta de vistas incríveis. É uma trilha leve/moderada, mas pode ser muito perigosa caso tenha chovido. Não recomendo para terceira idade que não costuma se exercitar. Tem pontos onde subimos e descemos inclinações, e pode ser cansativo. É uma trilha de 1,5km mais ou menos (incluindo a caminhada da praia). Mas no final, vale muito a pena. A piscina natural é uma delícia, água rasa para nadar e tem peixes lindos.

(Translated by Google) Moderate 15 to 20 minute trail from Cachadaço beach. I saw families with small children doing the trail, so yes, you can do it! (Original) Trilha moderada de 15 a 20 minutos desde a praia do Cachadaço. Vi famílias com crianças pequenas fazendo a trilha, então sim, você consegue!

(Translated by Google) The trail is simply spectacular, with incredible views, preserved vegetation and a medium level of difficulty. Some sections are very slippery during the rainy season. It takes between 30 and 40 minutes, depending on the speed and agility of each person, as well as the flow of people in the area. The trail is a fundamental part of the experience for those who want to see the pools. I took a boat trip back (5 minutes), more for the experience of crossing the water. The pool is incredible, with many colorful fish. The water is cold and the landscape is sensational. I went in January and there were a lot of people, which made the water cloudy and scared away the fish. It is better to go in the low season. I highly recommend the tour. (Original) A trilha é simplesmente espetacular, com uma vista incrível, vegetação preservada e nível médio de dificuldade. Alguns trechos são bem escorregadios se for época de chuva. Duração entre 30 ou 40 minutos a depender da velocidade e agilidade de cada um, bem como do fluxo de pessoas no local. Fazer a trilha é uma parte fundamental pra quem quer conhecer as piscinas. A volta eu fiz de barco (5 minutos), mais pela experiência da travessia pela água. A piscina é incrível, com muitos peixes coloridos. A água é fria e a paisagem é sensacional. Fui em janeiro e tinha muita gente, o que deixou a água turva e espantou os peixes. Melhor ir em baixa temporada. Recomendo demais o passeio.

(Translated by Google) This trail is of medium difficulty (difficult for children under five and the elderly, and very difficult for people with reduced mobility), but it can be skipped if the tourist doesn't mind paying R$15 to go by boat (and another R$15 to return). The trail is well-marked, with steps and handrails in the more complicated sections. The swampy sections have planks that allow for easy passage. It should be avoided before or immediately after rain, as it is entirely muddy. Be careful of insects and the time of day you are hiking, as it is a trail in the middle of a reserve. (Original) Trilha de média dificuldade (difícil para crianças com menos de cinco anos e idosos, e bem difícil para pessoas com mobilidade reduzida), mas pode ser suprimida, caso o turista não se importe em pagar $15 reais para ir de barco (e mais $15 para voltar). A trilha está bem sinalizada, com degraus e corrimão nos trechos mais complicados. Os trechos pantanosos contam com tabuinhas que permitem o tráfego com tranquilidade. Deve ser evitada antes ou logo após a chuva, por ser toda de barro. Cuidado também com os insetos e com o horário que se transita, afinal, é uma trilha no meio da reserva.

Accessed by boat or trail, this stunning, remote beach is known for water sports & panoramic views.
It was very beautiful, with more strong waves. Quick Tip: Carry Citroilha for those insects.

Beautiful beach on top Of an island called Ilhabela. However, beware that there are highly infectious mosquitoes by the name of barrachudos that might end with the paradise

An overrated and oversold beach. It is not worth the challenging and expensive trip in an SUV. It is just ordinary. Has millions of flies and bugs that can resist repellents. The sea is not swimmable.

Jeep tour, sightseeing, swimming, caipirinhas, picanhas, boat tour. So nice, not bothered by the little mosquitos!

One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever see!

This is a wonderful beach. Beautiful views and plenty of places to relax. There was also numerous restaurant options. Towards the South end of the beach there is a great overlook perfect for pictures. My wife and I especially enjoyed renting body boards and enjoying the large waves. This will be the highlight of our trip and made us feel like kids again.

So beautiful but BRING INSECT REPELLENT AND REAPPLY OFTEN. I was bitten over 50 times (honestly I counted) in the 15 minutes between swimming and eating when I reapplied repellent. All of the group had allergic reactions and were ill. It's incredibly beautiful and fun to swim and explore but be careful of the swarming mosquitoes.

Wonderful beach! Very peaceful, well preserved and quite long. Great option if you're looking for a more quite place or surfing.
