December 2024 (Booked hike though tripadvisor / Rodrigo Indio Tours) Stand out experience of 16 days in Rio - highly recommended if you want to get away into the peace of Tijuca forest, challenge yourself a bit and get the most rewarding view - with plenty of photo opportunity. The hike is uphill via steps, forest path and minor scrambles via natural and man made hand-holds. It's moderately challenging and there is a small climb just before the summit - with a view next to none in the area. I was glad for good shoes + backpack and lots of water+snacks. Rodrigo was an excellent guide adding context to the encounters with flora and fauna, we saw jackfruit trees, monkeys etc. What was more impressive was his ability to gently encourage members of our group and create a safe space for continuing onwards even if it felt challenging to them. He shared how to tackle some of the trickier bits and we all cheered on each other in the end as we made it though the various stages of the climb up and ended up an awesome experience richer - with photos kindly provided by Rodrigo to tell the story. I've done a bit of solo hiking in Tijuca but for this one I was really happy to have Rodrigo along as I felt more relaxed and able to enjoy the forest, hike and views. - it wouldn't have been the same without him. Book this if you're in Rio and remotely interested in walking, forest and great views.

One of the most amazing places I’ve ever visited!!!! There is climbing part was very interesting to me and when you reach the top, it’s a totally different story, totally worth it 😍🇧🇷❤️❤️ Most visit in Rio 🤩

Most beautiful hike you can do in Rio! We were really confused whether we needed a guide or not, let me tell you, you don’t (speaking as a European)! Here’s how we did it: - you can get an uber there and back - the hike is continuous ascending - there is 1 part where there are some guys that help you to get up/down a steep rock path. I asked, they are there every day (except when it rains)! The price for gringos was 80BRL up&down or 50BRL only down. For Brazilians I heard them say 30BRL up and 30BRL down. They’re super friendly and give you the harness and equipment! - next to this part, you can also boulder up. If you’re unhandy, might not be the best idea. But if you’re like us used to climb a bit of rocks every now and then, it’s easy! Only downside for us was that there were occupied by guides with groups and the queue was long. - the views are beautiful! - the park only opens at 8am - We saw tours where you could really climb and ascend via the rocks, this looked really cool! We might do that next!

Very challenging hike but absolutely worth it. The total hike took us around 6h (including breaks). The first 2.5h is a beautiful path with only a few steep parts. Once you almost teach the top a big cliff wall is waiting. It is possible (but dangerous) to go up alone. We were lucky and some tour guides with ropes were waiting and took us up (and down) for around 10$ per person. Once you are up there is another 20 min hike with some sketchy parts waiting. The view from the top is absolutely worth it. When going down we had to wait to use the ropes because it was quite busy. Make sure to bring sunscreen, water and snacks 👍🏻

Great views if it’s a sunny day otherwise you can’t see anything through the clouds. Easy hike. Just don’t rely on Uber to get home. There’s no cell service at trail head we almost got stuck there as it’s a long walk back to town to catch a cab.

On of my best hikes so far, if you looks for a full day with amazing views and breathtaking moments then you must go for a hike to Pedra da Gavea. I recommend to go with a guide, as it’s NOT so easy to go Alone as it’s not for beginners. Our guide knew all the secrets and he have his robes to help you with some parts of the hike. I’m sure you’ll enjoy it and I’ll definitely come back for more breathtaking moments.

Rio is chalk full of incredible views, but there is not a single one better than the top of Da Gavea. One of the best views to be had in the entire world tbh. The hike up isn’t easy and a guide is 100% recommended, if not required. Truly an epic and bucket list experience! @nothin_but_views

Access is free on Wednesdays and is a self tour across the palace. It takes about 1hr if you pay attention to the details. Worth visiting in Petrópolis.

It is a cultural visit to understand how was the daily basics of the emperor and he's wife and way to do so.

If you were a bad student as me, this is the opportunity to know the history of Brazil. We have just 63 years of kingdom here in Brazil but until our "freedom" or beginning of the democrat republicans there are very interesting issues inside the museum.

Beautiful palace. Mostly everything written in portuguese You can pay CASH ONLY! The slippers that they give you to put on your shoes are very dangerous and disgusting dirty. Could search for another option for visitors! No photos allowed.

Great palace. Free entrance when we went. We had to wear covers for our shoes. Great collection.

You're required to wear slippers over your shoes to protect the floors, but unfortunately they are one size fits some and you'll likely be pseudo-skating around the museum. Also, you're required to check all belongings before entering, including cameras. Photography is not allowed inside, with or without flash. Other than these minor things, worth the trip! Definitely recommend, just be aware what you're in for.

Quite interesting to see how decadent the royal family was while their countries (Brazil and Portugal) suffered. The museum is free sometimes and cheap the rest of the time. It would get 5 stars if they allowed photos inside and dispensed with the awkward slippers they furnish you to preserve the hardwood floors.

What a fabulous structure, amazing how the first two meters of the structure is cut stone while the remainder is built with concrete to represent the people. It is in an idealistic location overlooking the river, and is very well maintained. One thing to be aware of is shorts are not the preferred clothing item. An ideal location for reflection and some quiet time.

History buffs must stop here! Pro: - king and queen grave - gorgeous architecture - incredible carvings - well maintained - free Con: - nothing

Great architecture experience. Historic place that took place under the Pedro II dinasty.

Beautiful church ⛪️ with amazing stained glass with the best detailed designs! Free to visit

Cathedral in Petropolis. After their exile to and death in Europe, the remains of the last Brazilian emperor Pedro II and his wife were laid to rest here in marble tombs. His surviving daughter and her French husband are also entombed here. Of interest to those interested in 19th century imperial history of Brazil.

Beautiful Cathedral, its history is worth the visit!

Calm and quiet place. Nice church, no cost.

Didn't know this story, but it was the highlight of the whole "Petropolis" tour for me, being that I love aviation.

No pix, no amex. cash, debit or credit only. Great history spot, small (but he was a small guy) great piece of history! Worth the trio!

Nice place, can see why he built a glider to get to the bottom of the mountain. He was a bit later to fly, just after the Wright Brothers.

I went on his birthday and it was very busy, however it was great to learn more about the type of person he was and his lovely house.

Very informative and interesting small museum, one of the best places in Petropolis.

The House of Santos Dumont is a great place to visit. I got surprised when I saw how simple he lived behind the big intelligence he had. The history of this great person brings pride of such human and the benefits he brought to the humandade.

Beautiful site with a rich history and gorgeous scale replicas of Santos' creations, and the original house designed by Santos Dumont himself. The entrance fee is decent, and they offer a video (with English subtitles) that tells the true story of Mr. Dumont. This is a must-visit site for fans of aviation history. Keep in mind the stairs are steep (which is part of the original history of the house), but there is an elevator available for people who have difficulty.

I had an amazing experience at Restaurante Cervejaria Bohemia in Petrópolis. The setting is beautiful — inside the historic Bohemia brewery — and the ambiance is lively yet cozy. The food was outstanding! I had the Angus flat iron steak, perfectly cooked and beautifully plated. Everything is clearly designed to pair with their incredible craft beers, which are brewed right there on-site. The staff was attentive and friendly, and the view from the upstairs restaurant added a special touch. After lunch, I visited the brewery museum — which I highly recommend if you’re into beer culture or Brazilian history.

Nice place, especially beer tasting, gift shop is also interesting😀

Brazil's oldest brewery was founded by German immigrants in the mountainous summer getaway of Petrópolis in 1853. It was once the preferred beer of the Portuguese royal family. While mass production shifted to São Paulo in 1998, Bohemia reopened its original location in 2012 as a specialty brewery museum, bar, and restaurant. The interactive guided tour explores the history of beer and specifically Bohemia, offering tastings and a visit to the barrel-aging beer cave.

Esther was an excellent guide! She gave thoughtful, funny and kind insights of the beer process and its history. She also always made sure we had no questions left. Amazing work!

Deep history:) fun tastings of the beer!

Absolutely 5 stars. The venue is very well mainland the 44 real tour was amazing. They did a great job explaining beer making process and so many fun facts.

This was one of the best parts of my visit in Petropolis. The first half of the tour is a museum of the history and science of beer. The displays are in Portuguese, but almost all of them have English translations. The displays were beautiful and informative. The last half is a guided tour. Our guide spoke in Portuguese, which was difficult for me. However, most of the displays were straightforward enough and interesting enough that I wasn't bored and didn't feel left out. After the guided tour, we were given a flight of 3 different beers to taste (and children were given juice so they didn't feel left out). The gift shop had many great gifts for me to bring back home. The restaurant had great vegetarian options (and of course, beer), and the service was excellent. I highly recommend you do this tour!

Overall this place is a decent place to stay if you are not looking to spend a ton. There was 2 of us and our big dog. The Buffet was pretty good, lots of options. The Juice was terrible though, it seems it was watered down to a 90/10 water to juice ratio. Breakfast is till 10am weekdays and 10:30 on the weekends. The Room was mostly okay. Up to date AC unit and a ceiling fan, the shower was nice too, hot water on demand no electric shower. Some of the walls were peeling and the bathroom occasionally smelt of sewer water coming up through the drain. Everything was clean though in the room, no bugs or grime anywhere. There was a dog that barked in the room next to ours for almost 2 hours in the middle of the night. And same thing happened mid day. The staff didn’t do anything to solve it and it was extremely obvious it was happening because it’s a small hotel. The bed and pillows I would say were bellow average to average for comfort. There’s plenty of options for drinks and beer at the front of the hotel to purchase at any time. They also had things in the fridge that’s in the room along with some snacks that you have to pay for as well if you want them. If you have a dog it’s an additional $50 BRL that they don’t disclose when you book the room online.

The place was cool, the staff were all very nice and it was a safe place to stay. The breakfast every morning was super delicious and had just about everything you can get for a breakfast. Would definitely return.

Nice and simple stay. It was our second time there and everything ran as smooth as the first visit. The location or perfect for those who want to stay at walking distance from the sightseeing places of Petrópolis. The closest place is Crystal Palace, less than a minute walking. Or you can walk about 7 minutes to the Imperial Museum. The continental breakfast is simple but have everything you may need for a morning of walking. The rooms are simple but cozy. If you're traveling in the summer I would recommend one with AC. The restroom has a nice and strong shower. Nood to relax.

Excelente plqce, great food

Cozy place, well located and friendly staff.

Small rooms compared to American standards

Very good

Several stores , not really outlet price in my opinion - I saw most of stores with progressive discount system which forces you to buy too many items in the same store so you can see a price benefit. Looks safe with many guards.

Amazing place to go and find good prices

Nice clothes, good quality but too expensive for an outlet. We left together with 6 other customers because the airconditioner made it unsupportable to shop quietly. Far too cold.

Good place for shopping. International clothing and sports brands at very reasonable prices. Huge parking space. But, no signs of mentioning parking fees and spots to pay.

The place is big, clean and it has good options but unfortunately some stores displays products that are not on sale. This is absurd and outrageous! It's an outlet for God sake!

Excellent shopping structure but in the day that I went me and many people faced issues with park payment and to go out from there. It was 12/16/2017.

we can offer kn95 OR n95 masks with top quality and the best price. pls contact me. email: ferrezhou@gmail.com

This place is destroyed It is ok fro some rock concerts but so sad they let it get ruined.

Feels eerie and abandoned I wish I got to see it around 2016 when the Olympics were here. I went here to visit another Olympic park and the few workers there were confused why I was even there. Like um it’s an Olympic village. It’s still very pretty just shocking to see it so empty and not used.

Interesting place to see even years after olimpics.

Great location for Rock in Rio, stunning sets and amazing acts, only down side watch for pickpockets as phone stolen during concert but not the organisers fault. Would highly recommend going if you get the opportunity

Wonderful

We got vaccinated there. Unbelievable the excellent set up. All health workers and security did a fantastic work

Nice place and interesting.

Good 😊

Hello tourists.This is RECREIO beach.A strip of sand for about 10 km or so.It´s after Barra and before Macumba and the stone.It was wild back them,nobody at all.There you see a labor city and none peasant,athlete or entertainer.It´s only sand,no stones or bricks in the way.I remeber a nature with stone in the middle of the beach ahead ,in Prainha and macumba is cut by a stone also. The quiosques still about old generation,I think few of woods,closed long time with only a few fidel customers or so.It´s about yourselve. The beach has nothing actually.If you have cash or seek hanging or so.I loved do this course by myself,admire femsle athletes and very loyals.But even for a bolshoii dancer she would complain a lot about so much studies in her country to see litter,low wages and people struggling close to her.And many other complains.... Was good,her coach would avise her.I am sure she understand only of practice. Maybe kyte needs crowds or close to civilization,nobody is up to show and desert brazil. This is our biggest beach and desert so far. No safe guards,dangerous waters. No kind at all. Good walk!

Such lovely beach and the view of this lovely island is magical🧡

The best beach for during the week with clear water ,local vendors and kiosk

The beach itself is amazing, beautiful it blends the city with nature, just by turning around a corner.. Great options to eat seafood based meals and an amazing spot for surfing. Which makes it not so welcoming to swimmers, cause there usually are a lots of waves. Phone reception over there is really bad, so getting an uber to leave the place might be an ordeal, i'd recommend a car, a bycicle or accept the fact that you might have to walk back part of the way before u can get Internet again (but there is a chance that u'll get internet over there).

Amazing scenery beach in Rio. Great for those who surf. Families are welcome too. I recommend you to visit it before 11h am specially during the weekends when it gets crowded.

Great beach in a little cove. Water is great, ground is firm unlike other beaches, and waves are pretty good sized to body surf and swing in.

Absolutely wonderful and small cove beach in Rio de Janeiro.

I call this place the Hawaii of Rio!! It is beautiful, clean, safe and full of waves. The restaurant located at the point is pretty tasty and a little pricy. Prainha is a must when visiting Rio!!!

One of Rio' best beachs, prainha is small and full of natural florest. It is loved by the surf community.

Lovely beach. Go during the day, while the sun is up! Just make sure it doesn't get dark while you are at Prainha beach, we couldn't find a taxi and struggled a bit as wifi connection didn't work well either.

Relaxing coast about 1 hour to 90 minute away from copa. Less people and nude optional. Be ware the phone reception isn’t the best so calling a Uber to return to ipenma isn’t straight forward

Great bar and great atmosphere. It's well worth the trip out here and it's also a great spot for a swim. We were here mid week in the early afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all, but imagine it'd get crowded on weekends.

Two places in one. If looking at the sea, on your right you have the regular beach, but on your left (passing those large rocks) you got a nudist beach. The whole place is wonderful. Today the water was clean and transparent, so you could see your feet. The only problem is to get back home, since there's not phone signal there. You should schedule with a driver to pick you up.

Fantastic as it’s calmer for kids. Warm water. Fun for adults as well.

Hidden gem. If you walk past the left side corner and go by and around big rocks on the beach sand you get access to the naturist area where clothing is optional. Great place to go for a swim and hang out for a bit in nature. It could really be an idilic place if it were not for the super weird men who are there not to be in harmony with nature but rather to let their sexual nature come out aggressively and extremely impolitely.

Excellent beach. Sea is rough in the middle. Recommend staying on the right hand side of the beach, close to the rocks. The water is a bit calmer there and a car park is available.

Bit far from the city if you don’t have a car but definitely the most beautiful beach in Rio

Ok

The mall is really nice for the most part, easy to get to where you need to, tons of clothing/electronic stores. The elevators/escalators usually always work but sometimes don’t. The bathrooms at this mall are almost always extremely dirty, clogged toilets, non operable sinks, toilet paper is always out in 80% of the stalls and smells pretty bad 1/2 the time. There are some great places to eat here at the mall and more than enough parking. When you enter from the front of the mall there are always people that harass you to buy things (Usually mentos) and don’t take “NO”for an answer!! You just have to keep walking. I find that super obnoxious!!!!

The mall is big but the stores are surprisingly small,... But the place is clean (new)

Nice place to hang out and take nice photos. I love to spend all day there when I can.

Great experience, good variety of stores. Some good prices. Quite busy, but it was Saturday night. I really enjoyed the book selections.

great mall at brazil has a theme park inside an extinct volcano on the back super fun

Interesting Christmas Activities, lots of things for kids

(Translated by Google) Javary Lake is one of those places that makes you slow down. Surrounded by lush greenery and a beautiful reflecting pool, it's perfect for a leisurely stroll, taking photos, and enjoying the sunset. One of the city's landmarks, it features a modern bridge that's even more charming at night when illuminated. It's conveniently located downtown and passes through RJ-125, so it's easy to include the lake in your daily itinerary. If you're looking for a peaceful, beautiful stroll with a rural atmosphere, it's definitely worth a visit. (Original) O Lago Javary é daqueles lugares que fazem você desacelerar.

(Translated by Google) Casa da Hera belonged to Joaquim José Teixeira Leite, a coffee commissioner in the region. The house was built in the first half of the 19th century and Joaquim bought it to live in with his future wife, Ana Esméria Pontes França. The two lived with their two daughters on the property. Eufrasia Teixeira Leite is the only sister portrayed in the house and, after her death in 1930, she left the house and the lands of the farm were inherited by the Institute of the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Today, it is managed by IBRAM. The house is very well preserved and the tour is guided, and it is advisable to book in advance; however, you can leave your name at the reception and wait for the next group of visitors. The preserved furniture and rooms serve as illustration for the guide's account, which tells the whole story in detail. It is a journey through Brazil's past and tells a little about the importance of coffee and the luxurious life of the barons in the times of the big house and the sensation. The gardens on the property are worth a visit and the bamboo tunnel is a must-see! There are also dolls in the outdoor area that pay homage to Mariana Crioula and Manuel Congo, who led the slave rebellion in Vassouras, the largest in the Paraíba Valley. The guided tour of the house and the tour of the property are free and well worth it. No food or drink is sold on site. There are bathrooms. (Original) A Casa da Hera pertenceu a Joaquim José Teixeira Leite, comissário de café da região. A casa foi construída na primeira metade do século 19 e Joaquim a comprou a para viver com sua futura esposa, Ana Esméria Pontes França. Os dois viveram com suas duas filhas na propriedade. Eufrasia Teixeira Leite é a única irmã retratada na casa e, após sua morte, em 1930, deixou a casa e as terras da chácara foram herdadas para o Instituto  das Irmãs Missionárias do Sagrado Coração de Jesus. Hoje, é administrada pelo IBRAM. A casa é muito bem conservada e a visita é guiada, sendo aconselhável reservar com antecedência; no entanto pode-se deixar o nome na recepção e esperar o próximo grupo de visitas. Os móveis e aposentos preservados servem de ilustração para o relato do(a) guia, que conta toda a história com detalhes. É um passeio pelo passado do Brasil e que conta um pouco da importância do café e a vida luxuosa dos barões nos tempos da casa grande e da sensação. Oa jardins na propriedade valem uma visita e o túnel de bambus é imperdível! Também há bonecos na área externa que homenageiam Mariana Crioula e Manuel Congo, que lideraram a rebelião de escravos em Vassouras, a maior do Vale do Paraíba. O tour guiado pela casa e o passeio pela propriedade são gratuitos e valem muito a pena. Não se vende comida ou bebida no local. Há banheiros.

It's a place easy to arrive by BR 116 and after BR 393 from Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. Have a good structure to receive a lot of people. The dinner at Aldeia das Águas Resort is amazing. Thanks for everything.

The buidling needs a lot of fixes, including the rooms that have smelling and dirty clothes. The food is just OK and there's nothing to do at night. Kid's área is poor.

It's a pleasant place to stay with my family. It was calm and have a lot of options to play and to go with your children.

I love this place, great pools and water slides. Never go on the weekend, super crowded. Bathrooms are very old, super outdated!!!

Very Nice place, big pools and area to enjoy all day long

It's a good place for a professional/social events, with activities for family or for teenagers, good food with a good prive.

Very good, easy location and good service, drinks and beer tasty

Absolutely beautiful. We visited on a cloudy day so there weren’t any boats around.

Fantastic place to spend the day. Pack up with own goods and have a quiet time in paradise

A nice beach, crystal clear that you can see lots of fish.

Beautiful island with beautiful water! There are small islands along the way!

Very nice small beach,you need boat to go there.

Wonderfull islands next to Angra. Great place for snorkeling and taking pictures.

Amazing island . love it . You need to sée all the small island beside

This place is really not safe to snorkle. Lots of boats coming from everywhere and even jet skis with high speed. Avoid!

Our boat stopped here for us to have a swim or snorkel. What a beautiful spot, there was lots of marine life here, fishes were big and colourful. One of the tourist spotted a turtle bit unfortunately I didn't get to see one!

Another beautiful Island no far away by boat. Great place to do snorkeling or scuba driving.

Brilliant group of islands

Totally an awesome experience of nature at its finest. Swimming, snorkeling, relaxing. I would recommend not going on holiday weekends or during peak seasons though, unless you find a hidden unpopular beach or cove. It gets pretty crowded with boat traffic and people. If you are into the crowds etc go for it! 😁

Another stop on our boat tour. Everyone had pool noodles to enjoy the warm clear water and all the fishies swimming close by. You don't actually go on the island.

Get there early and you'll have a wonderful experience snorkeling with all the sea life. Gets too crowded to enjoy afterwards.

From there you can get Isidro's downfall, but hard access to get the pool and beach

(Translated by Google) A place of preserved nature, with beautiful waterfalls and easy access, with Poço das Garrafas being the closest to the entrance. Perfect for swimming on hot summer days. I got to the parking lot in a normal car (not a 4x4). The road from S. José do Barreiro could be in better condition, but I've seen worse! Lol (Original) Lugar de natureza preservada, com cachoeiras lindas e acesso facilitado, sendo o Poço das Garrafas o mais próximo à portaria. Perfeito para banhos nos dias quentes de verão Cheguei até o estacionamento com carro normal (sem ser 4x4). Estrada a partir de S. José do Barreiro poderia estar em melhores condições, mas já vi piores! Rs

(Translated by Google) The place is well signposted until you reach the entrance, but on the day we went there was no one at the entrance. After a while of reading the signs to find out how to get to the Santo Izidro waterfall, a guy appeared with a clipboard, asked where we were going and gave us some instructions. If you enter and there is no one to give you information about the waterfall, just follow the trail and enter. Right in front of you there will be a sign with an arrow "Mambucaba trail of gold". Take this access and go along the river. (Original) O local é bem sinalizado até chegar a entrada, mas no dia que fomos não tinha ninguém na portaria, depois de um tempo que ficamos lendo as placas pra saber como chegar na cachoeira Santo Izidro, apareceu um rapaz com uma prancheta, perguntou onde íamos e passou algumas instruções. Se alguém entrar e não tiver alguém para passar informações sobre a cachoeira é só seguir a trilha e entrar, logo a frente terá uma placa com seta "Mambucaba trilha do ouro" pega esse acesso e vai beirando ao Rio.

(Translated by Google) Created in the 1970s, the preservation area covers one hundred thousand hectares between the Mantiqueira and Mar mountain ranges, with 60% of the territory in Rio de Janeiro (Parati and Angra dos Reis) and 40% in São Paulo (Areias, Cunha, São José do Barreiro and Ubatuba). Throughout the area, the beauty of the flora and fauna typical of the Atlantic Forest is striking. There are orchids, bromeliads, jequitibás and fig trees sharing the landscape with toucans, tapirs, agoutis, sloths and deer, among other native species. The mountain range also holds other pleasant surprises, such as waterfalls with drops reaching one hundred meters in height; peaks over two thousand meters in altitude that reveal hills and the sea; and the Trilha do Ouro, a 40-kilometer trail that ends at the beach. The park can be explored on foot, by bicycle, motorcycle or car - however, to enter with motorized vehicles you need authorization from Ibama. Activities vary according to the visitor's physical fitness - options range from light 40-minute walks to three-day treks, requiring overnight stays in settlers' houses or wild campsites.

A serra reserva ainda outras agradáveis surpresas, como as cachoeiras com quedas que chegam a cem metros de altura; picos com mais de dois mil metros de altitude que descortinam morros e mar; e a Trilha do Ouro, um caminho de 40 quilômetros que termina na praia. O parque pode ser explorado a pé, de bicicleta, moto ou carro - porém, para entrar com os veículos motorizados é preciso autorização do Ibama. As atividades variam de acordo com o preparo físico do visitante - as opções vão de caminhadas leves com 40 minutos de duração à travessias que consomem três dias, exigindo pernoites em casas de colonos ou em campings selvagens.

It's fun tô take the kids and it's very thematic! Beautiful to walk at night and even more beautiful in Christmas season. There is also a place there with one of the best hot chocolate I've ever tasted!

Main atraction on the city .must visit . And interesting emporiums who sells selectrd food from rio and minas gerais . Chocolate and trita are the main products .

It's beautiful and have some nice stores for local food, but i really thought that it would be bigger and have some more attractions

Funny and entertaining, walk around and find Christmas in the middle of an almost Brazil. Opened is definitely a different place to go to.

A miniature of Santa's town in the city of Penedo. The city is known for being a touristic city with major finnish heritage. This specific spot's audience are probably children and families.

Awesome place, great for shopping, eating and take many pictures.

Good place to take a break from driving. The waterfall is not impressive, but the pools are quite comfortable. It is very close to the main road, offering easy access for visitors. Despite this, it can get a lot more crowded than other waterfalls in the region, attracting local informal food vendors - reason why you won't find silence here. Also, visitors tend to stay longer periods of time, along with their friends and/or family members - loaded with parasols, beach chairs, loudspeakers (music playlists), and some even carry their barbecue kits (not allowed though). This is, thus, not a very relaxing place either. It is also a problem in terms of rubbish: some visitors do not adhere to the city rules for use and protection of Tres Cachoeiras Waterfall. We should all keep in mind the need to preserve it. Nature is indeed abundant here, and beautiful: it should stay this way. To get here, it's possible to arrive by car, or on a tour. If arriving by car, the parking lot is next to the entrance of the site, and it's fairly spacious.

small but easy accessible

Everything is very organized, clean, safe and well maintained, something very rare to find today. It is really worth visiting, congrats sitio Cachoeiras do Alcantilado team!

Beautiful place! Excellent choice if you're into hiking, sightseeing, being in touch with nature and river diving!

Excellent place to go and stay the whole day. Amazing waterfalls and hiking. We went all the way to the top and what an amazing view.

Quite a climb, but well worth it, especially the smaller cachoeiras on the way up.

Very nice, short hike. You can swim in 8/9 of the waterfalls. Worth a visit.

Eden's Garden

nice hike. beautiful nature. well preserved.

Great expo center but needs better public transportation hub like connection. Noteworthy as expected the food stalls usually have a higher mark up

Incriv place, it only brings me good memories, and every time I leave I already think about when I'm going to come back!!

Gamescom Latam at São Paulo Expo has allowed me to see how the infrastructure of the place is perfect for this type of large events ! Well organized, produced and secure.

WOW! It's a huge well-located area hosting the greatest events of São Paulo since 2016. Great job GL Events! Keep it up!

they have a huge parking lot but allow to use only like 30% of it and cause of that there's so much traffic after my event was finished. the rest is chill

Good place, I attend the FI South America and was very good, a lot of suppliers and very safety.

great place, I went to Intermodal 2023 and the service was so good, very organized, Brazilian people is lovely!
