Richard A — Google review
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.
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.
I love that place. Gorgeous beaches.
Nice speech and shops along the beach
Love you
Fantastic beach. Where the forest and hills meet the ocean. It was rainy and cloudy when we were there but still amazing 🤩
Nice sun sets, not much else to offer, horrible food, bad service, everything is overpriced, seems they are taking everything they can from the fame of medina, don't bother going much much better places to see in Brazil, or better you go visit so less people where we go haha

I love this beach!! it is quiet and have one of the best kyosk named Prainha do Juliao. If you go there you must get one drink named Coconut Special, it is delicious!!! And don't forget your snorkel. You can see a lot of fishs near the rocks and they will come on your feet if you feed them with bread or crackers.

Compact, sandy palm-fringed cove with seafood shacks & snack bars, plus rental umbrellas & chairs.
The staff are great. The manager is very accommodating. When I arrived with a Dome bike, he asked for my battery so I can charge it. Gabriel speaks English, he made sure my orders are well-taken care of. Welyngton is a great Chef. He prepared my Asinha do Frango (Buffalo Wings), one of the best I had (the sauce is very Asian which suited my taste, I am Asian). My 2-hour stay after cycling from the Ferry was worthwhile because of the quality of service this beach restaurant offers. 2 thumbs up!
Reyno A — Google review
In my opinion one of the best beaches you can reach by car on Ilhabela. Better than this would only be Castelhanos.
Beautiful beach in the north side of Ilhabela. Access via an unpaved road
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.
Nice and beautiful beach, the way to get there isn't easy, though. Also, on rainy days, it requests special attention and it wouldn't be recommendable for drivers without experience
Really beautiful beach! Less crowded than some of the others. Worth a visit, even with the sand flies. The road is more easily acessible than I was expecting.
One of the best beaches and we enjoyed a really sunny day. But make sure you carry enough repellent

Good place to see the Nature. The beach is beautiful but pay attention. If you don't know how to swim... Don't swim.

Praia do Tenório

Beach
Nature & Parks
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.
Gabriel P — Google review
Very good beach, with calm waves, but depending on the time it can get very crowded, but with an incredible view
If you like crazy busy beaches, you will love this one. Lots to do. Many decent baracas, many restaurants. Small waves. Good for families with young kids. If you don't Luke busy beaches, stay away! Parking is an absolute nightmare. It took us an hour to drive 20km because the road was so busy
Beautiful beach and clean ocean. Friendly vendors selling an assortment of beachwear .
It gets very overcrowded, too many kiosk tables everywhere. Vermelha next door is better.
Beach relatively long and wide, totally exposed to waves. Not a place to swim but a great place to play with the waves. I didn't see any surfer. The water in the end of September is warm and many people are in the water. There's a short walk from the car parking among beautiful houses and the one day ticket is 10 reais.

Visitors can marvel at fascinating creatures like crabs, octopuses, sharks, and even Magellanic penguins from Patagonia.
Amazing place.
Worth every penny from the ticket.

Luiz F — Google review
Was surprised at the array of animals there , staff were lovely and when raining spent a couple of hours sheltering inside !
I liked it, kind of fun for children. It isn't as big as other ones around the world, but fits into this environment. The most fun was the playground behind it for my kids.
Small but very nice and well organized, employees were respectful and knowledgeable. The sharks and penguins were the highlight of the visit but the experience was really good overall, really worth the time.
This aquarium is an excellent opportunity to make a immersion into the beauty and miseries of the sea, this place is prepared for a huge crowd of adults and kids enjoying multiple attractions, it is recomended to buy tickets online in advance to have a quick access to the place, also check the estimated time for some scheduled activities, like feeding the penguins, so you can have the best experience possible here, very recommended
It was smaller than I've been to other places, but close and intimate. Probably crowded I peak season, but July it was perfect. Some signs had English but not all.
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.
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.

There's a charming restaurant at this place with an amazing view from the area. You can also have a guided tour through different kinds of gardens regarding different countries.

Wonderful place to invest 2 or 3 hours walking among beautiful and harmonious gardens to admire.
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!
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.

The National Sanctuary of Our Lady of Aparecida, inaugurated in 1980 and renovated in 2017, is the largest Catholic evangelization center in Brazil. It attracts around 13 to 14 million tourists annually.
Very impressive place to visit and walk around. Even if you don’t come for a pilgrimage, it is worth while to come and make it a tourist visit.
It was quite busy even though it was weekday
Philipp L — Google review
This was an absolutely stunning Basilica. The second largest in the world only the Vatican is larger. The stone murals were beautiful along with everything else ..a must see.
Will definitely go back there one day. This is worth visiting.
The most breathing cathedral in Brazil, the spiritually makes you feel the amazing atmosphere that surrounds us. It is almost impossible not to feel better after your visit to this sacred place.
Considered the second biggest Catholic Temple of the world (after San Pedro Temple in Vatican) and the biggest in Brazil. Beautiful religious place with plenty of infrastructure to accommodate faithful from all places and renew their vows
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 sacred image of the Holly Mary, which was found by locals and is attributed to several miracles, is exposed there. The energy of this place is hard to describe.
Amazing place to visit
Highly recommend to arrive early and avoid crowds.
Still an amazing visit

Air Bontur cable cars provide a convenient and comfortable way to reach Cruzeiro Hill, a place of meditation in the Stations of the Cross. The individual and air-conditioned cable cars offer fantastic views of Aparecida and the Sanctuary. Visitors highly recommend this organized and safe experience, praising its efficiency and privacy. While some feel that prices could be more accessible, many still find it to be an excellent attraction at the Sanctuary for a unique ride on the cable car.

(Translated by Google) It was a really fun family outing, with a really beautiful view of the sanctuary and the city. There was a line, but it was really quick. Up to six people can enter each cable car at a time. If you want, you can pay a little more and go up the elevator and have an even better view of the sanctuary.

During the journey, you can enjoy beautiful views of the Basilica, the city, and the surrounding landscapes. The structure inspires confidence, and the route is an excellent way to contemplate Aparecida from a new perspective, combining faith, nature, and a very beautiful visual experience.

The Basílica Histórica de Nossa Senhora Aparecida is a welcoming place for pets, as visitors are surprised by how well-behaved they are. It's possible to attend mass with your furry friends without any issues. When visiting, it's recommended to sit closer to the door and in the back rows to manage any barking. The architecture of the basilica is stunning, although some visitors were unable to enter due to closure.

Unfortunately I couldn't get inside cos it was close but it's beautiful architecture
It's beautiful, but there are a lot of people...
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!*

(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

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.

Por toda a área chamam a atenção as belezas da flora e da fauna típicas da Mata Atlântica. São orquídeas, bromélias, jequitibás e figueiras dividindo o cenário com tucanos, antas, cutias, preguiças e veados, entre outras espécies nativas. 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.

(Translated by Google) The work done with the models is sensational! Very meticulous and detailed.
However, I believe that because there are so many models, the tour with high school students is too quick! They quickly and mechanically tell the stories portrayed in the works, leaving us no time to contemplate them. We must value youth in this type of work, but it seems like there's a lack of better supervision (as well as financial resources—they accept donations).
It's worth checking out.

O trabalho feito com a maquetes é sensacional! Muito minucioso e detalhado.
Mas, acredito que por terem muitas maquetes, o tour com jovens do ensino médio é muito rápido!

Temos que valorizar a juventude neste tipo de trabalho, mas parece que falta uma monitoria melhor (além de recursos financeiros - aceitam doações).

Embark on a delightful journey aboard the Trem da Serra da Mantiqueira, located in the charming city of Passa Quatro, MG. This scenic train ride is pulled by the iconic steam locomotive Maria Fume and offers a round trip lasting about two hours. Along the way, you'll encounter breathtaking landscapes perfect for capturing memorable photos.
(Translated by Google) The Serra Train is a steam train operated by ABPF - Brazilian Association for Railway Preservation and is a must-see attraction for anyone visiting Passa Quatro. The route is approximately 10 km long and the train departs from Passa Quatro station to Coronel Fulgêncio station, at the top of Serra da Mantiqueira, every Saturday and Sunday and on some holidays, also on Friday. Some stories are told along the way, as well as a singer with voice and guitar interprets classics of MPB and sertanejo music. The train makes its first stop at Manacá station, where the steam is increased for the ascent of the mountain and tourists can visit to buy handicrafts, sweets, honey and other treats. The end of the route is at Coronel Fulgêncio station, where passengers can see a photo exhibition telling a little about JK, who before becoming a politician was a captain in the Minas Gerais Military Police and treated many people injured in the fighting between the people of Minas Gerais and São Paulo during the 1932 revolution. Many photos of this movement can be found at this station, which is very close to the Mantiqueira Tunnel, on the border between the states of Minas Gerais and São Paulo, and the scene of the biggest battles of the 1932 revolution, in which the people of Minas Gerais emerged as the big winners. The entrance fee is relatively expensive, R$90.00 per person, and it is best to book in advance.

O percurso é cerca de 10 km e o trem parte da estação de Passa Quatro com destino à estação Coronel Fulgêncio, no alto da Serra da Mantiqueira, todo sábado e domingo e em alguns feriados, também na sexta-feira. Algumas histórias são contadas durante o percurso, assim como um cantor voz e violão interpreta clássicos da MPB e do sertanejo. O trem tem a primeira parada na estação Manacá, onde se aumenta o vapor para a subida da serra e os turistas podem visitar para adquirir produtos de artesanato, doces, mel e outras guloseimas. O final do percurso é na estação Coronel Fulgêncio, onde os passageiros podem conhecer uma exposição fotográfica contando um pouco de JK que antes de se tornar político, era médico capitão da Polícia Militar de Minas Gerais e tratou de muitos feridos nos combates entre mineiros e paulistas durante a revolução de 1932. Muitas fotos desse movimento se encontram nessa estação que fica bem perto do Túnel da Mantiqueira, divisa dos estados de Minas e São Paulo, palco dos maiores combates do movimento da revolução de 1932, em que os mineiros se saíram como grandes vencedores. O ingresso e é relativamente caro, R$ 90,00 por pessoa e o ideal é fazer reserva antecipada.

(Translated by Google) A great family outing, a very worthwhile experience for those who like to relive a bit of Brazilian history, a trip back in time to understand what life was like in the old days... The Maria Fumaça train is very well maintained, with a ramp for wheelchair access. The bathroom at one of the stations is very popular because it is tiny. In my opinion, the price could be a little more affordable to attract more passengers. We went as a family, 7 people, and since it was January (promotion) we paid half the price, 90 reais per person... (half price, according to the employee)

Bom passeio em família, experiência muito válida para quem gosta de resgatar um pouco da história do Brasil, uma viagem no tempo para entender como já foi a vida a moda antiga …A Maria fumaça é muito bem cuidada, possuem rampa para acessibilidade a cadeirantes.

Fomos em família, 7 pessoas, por ser janeiro (promoção) pagamos metade da passagem, 90 reais por pessoa… (meia tarifa, segundo a funcionária)

The train travels a short distance until it reaches the tunnel where the people of São Paulo and Minas Gerais clashed in the constitutionalist revolution of 1932. On the journey, there is a stop at the Manacá station to buy local products and live music on the train to liven things up. It's a program for those who like to get to know small towns and history.

É uma viagem no tempo, com duração de 2 horas, o trem percorre um pequeno trecho chegando ao túnel onde houve o embate de paulistas e mineiros na revolução constitucionalista de 1932. Na viagem tem uma parada na estação manacá para compra de produtos locais e no trem música ao vivo para animar. É um programa para quem gosta de conhecer cidades pequenas e história.
(Translated by Google) The ride is very pleasant and relaxing. Along the way, there are several beautiful landscapes to take photos of.
This time, I paid R$75.00 per person, but the regular price is R$150.00.
At both stops, there are crafts and some drink and snack options.
I took the ride at 10:00 am on Carnival Monday.
I highly recommend this and other train rides!

Fiz no horário das 10hs na segunda-feira de Carnaval.
Recomendo muito este e outros passeios de trem!
(Translated by Google) Excellent tourist facilities in the city of Passa Quatro/MG. Ticket booths are located in two carriages pulled by a steam locomotive, the well-known Maria Fume. The journey takes about 2 hours, round trip, with stops at two stations: Manaca, where there is delicious popcorn from Fernando and Coronel Fulgencio, the last station, with a good bathroom. From this point, walk about 200 meters to the MMDC tunnel, on the border with SP, a true history lesson. Price of the tour on 23 March 24, 90 reais. Cards and cash accepted. It operates on Saturdays and Sundays, departing at 10 am and 2:30 pm. It also operates on holidays. I recommend arriving half an hour early to buy tickets, as there is a high demand for passengers.

(Translated by Google) Here is a piece of Brazil's railway history, preserved and serving to pass on the story to future generations. This spectacular ride certainly needs some improvements, but that doesn't detract from the tour in any way. On the contrary, it's worth highlighting the work of these people in keeping part of our history alive!
The ride takes about 2 hours round trip, leaving from the city of Passa Quatro to the tunnel that borders the state of São Paulo, which is also an important piece of Brazilian history.
Children love the ride on the train pulled by a steam locomotive (the famous Maria Fumaça). I recommend buying tickets in advance, as they always sell out, as they only run on weekends!
(Original)
Está aqui um pedaço da história ferroviária do Brasil, preservado e servindo para passar a história para as próximas gerações, passeio espetacular que com certeza precisa de uma ou outra melhora mas que não desmerece em nada o passeio, pelo contrário vale aqui ressaltar o trabalho dessas pessoas em manter viva parte da nossa história!
O passeio leva cerca de 2 horas ia e volta, saindo da cidade de Passa Quatro até o túnel que faz divisa com o estado de São Paulo, ali também um pedaço importante da história do Brasil.
As crianças adoram o passeio no trem puxado por uma locomotiva a vapor (famosa Maria Fumaça), recomendo comprar ingressos com antecedência pois sempre se esgotam já que só funciona ais finais de semana!
(Translated by Google) An experience that is definitely worth it! You can buy tickets online, or you can make a reservation by WhatsApp/phone, which are listed on the website. There are parking spaces around the station with easy access. After booking, you need to go to the ticket office at the station and pick up your ticket, which is very nice. Payment methods accepted at the ticket office: Cash/credit and debit cards. There are clean bathrooms at the station! My family and I went on Sunday, boarding at 10 am. When boarding, the super polite and charismatic employees tell you about what the tour will be like, as well as the stations where they stop, which are Manacá and Coronel Fulgêncio. Along the way, they tell you interesting facts about the tour and there is a singer who livens up the entire route, who sings very well and entertains the crowd! At the stops, there are bathrooms and stalls selling sweets, drinks, and crafts. At the last station, Coronel Fulgêncio, the guide takes us to the stage of the revolution, the tunnel that connects the cities of Passa Quatro and Cruzeiro. To get to the tunnel, we walk a few meters. I recommend wearing warm clothing and comfortable shoes! Finally, the train makes its turn and we return to the station. Throughout the ride, we are privileged by a beautiful view and lots of nature!!! I recommend the ride.

Experiência que vale a pena sem dúvida alguma! A compra dos tickets pode ser feita pelo site, ou pode ser feito uma reserva pelo WhatsApp/Telefone que constam no site. Ao redor da estação, há vagas para estacionamento com fácil acesso. Após a reserva, é necessário, na estação, passar na bilheteria e retirar o ticket que é muito bonito. Métodos de pagamento aceito na bilheteria: Dinheiro/Cartões crédito e débito. Na estação há banheiros limpos! Eu e minha família fomos no domingo, embarcamos às 10h. No embarque, os funcionários que são super educados e carismáticos contam sobre como será o passeio, além das estações que param, sendo Manacá e Coronel Fulgêncio. No trajeto, contam curiosidades sobre o passeio e há um cantor que anima todo o trajeto, canta muito bem e anima o pessoal! Nas paradas há banheiro e barraquinhas que vendem doces, bebidas, artesanato. Na última estação, Coronel Fulgêncio, a guia nos leva ao palco da revolução, o túnel que liga a cidade de Passa Quatro e Cruzeiro, para chegar ao túnel, caminhamos alguns metros, recomendo uso de roupa de frio e calçado confortável! Por fim, o trem faz a manobra e voltamos para a estação. Durante todo o passeio, somos privilegiados por uma bela vista e muita natureza!!! Recomendo o passeio.
(Translated by Google) Sensational.
A trip back in time, complete with an accordion player. The train takes us back to the city's past, the origin of its name, and the history of the railway. Very well maintained, it features a shiny and noisy locomotive, 🚂 blowing its whistle at every level crossing.
(Original)
Sensacional.
Uma volta no tempo, com direito a sanfoneiro. O trem permite que viajemos ao passado da cidade, origem do nome e história da ferrovia. Muito bem conservado, possui uma locomotiva 🚂 brilhante e barulhenta, apitando a cada passagem de nível.

St. Lawrence Water Park
Mentioned on
Park
Nature & Parks
St. Lawrence Water Park is a serene resort with mineral waters, beautiful gardens, and various sports facilities. Visitors can enjoy the calm atmosphere, take leisurely walks, and have peaceful conversations while admiring the lovely nature and interacting with ducks at the lake. The park offers different types of mineral spring water from distinct fountains, each with its own unique taste and health benefits. It is well-managed and provides good services such as those offered by the house of Bath.
It is a very beautiful area in the center of the city with a wonderful pond and nature area. You need to buy a ticket at the entrance but there are many options.
There are many different animals and fruits inside.
There are also natural spring waters that are only available in two places in the world (the other is in France), you can fill your bottle and drink (7 different sources & 9 different water sources)
You can also rent pedal or motorized water vehicles here or use walking balloons.
You can spend hours in this huge park and have a pleasant time listening to nature.
There are also some playgrounds and cafeterias.
If you pass by, I recommend you to visit, the heart of the city ♥️🇧🇷🌴

Beautiful water park, it has some small disadvantages.
I really like that the park is wel maintained and looks good. However, for a water park the water fountains are sometimes a bit far apart. Also, this park has many water fountains with extremely metallic flavours.
The park has many nice places to sit and relax to enjoy the beauty of the water park.
The park has a restaurant, but that restaurant is not good, so I would not go.
Parking is difficult close to the water park. Infront you can just park for teo hours, so you have to park further away.
Inside there are also some nice shops with sweets and even an art gallery.
For kids there are plenty of places to play in the park. The park consists out of two areas that are connected by a tunnel. The older park is more beautiful in my opinion.
You can also rent several types of boats to go on the lake.
Compared to other water parks you can not go out for lunch and come back with the same ticket. This is different from the English description at the entrance that clearly says that you just have to pay once per day, but that is not true.
Overall, it is a great place to visit but with some small negative points.
Nice park with educational and fun exhibits, well worth the time.
What a peaceful place, full of faith, nice people, all kinds of trees, birds, monkeys and everything else that makes us happy. It could be a poem. And the waters and it's properties to help health, just a must.
A beautiful and very organized park. It was interesting experience to taste different types of water there. If you are in this area, definitely a worthy place to visit.
Beautiful place, fun activities for the whole family,.and the water fountains are one of a kind
Legal 😃
The park has a lot of leisure opportunities and offers good services. It is notable for how it is so well managed.
I recommend this to anyone that wants to spend hours in contact with nature, silence, and enjoy good services like those offered by the house of Bath.

Pleasant experience where you can ride an old train with more than 70 years-old, remembering past times of the pre-highway era. Regional musicians play tunes during the trip.

Parque Nacional do Itatiaia

National park
Nature & Parks
Park
Itatiaia National Park, Brazil's first national park, boasts a diverse range of landscapes from dense rainforests to rugged peaks. The lower section offers accessible trails leading to waterfalls and natural swimming holes, while the remote high country provides excitement for serious hikers and climbers. Visitors can enjoy abundant flora and fauna including orchids, monkeys, and tropical birds. Accessing the upper portion may require a high-clearance vehicle due to challenging roads.
Wonderful national park at Itataia. It's possible to visit the park on foot, bike or by car. Visitors entering the park by car must pay an extra fee (around R$ 24,00) to take it's paved and non paved roads on a motored vehicle. The activities available at the park for visitors range from a beautiful cultural centre with many historical highlights, track trails in a rich forest terrain, magnificent waterfalls to admire and freshen up, numerous bird watching spots, and exuberant viewpoints of the Mantiqueira Mountain and it's wildlife. The difficulty of tracks may vary a lot. Upon entry on the park, visitors are given a detailed map, which shows what's possible to do whilst visiting the site. The park is basically divided into a lower and an upper part. The most demanding tracks, which are also those that one needs to plan in advance, are located in the upper part of park. In those areas, it's possible to camp on designated areas or stay for the night at one of the park's lodging houses (reservation in advance needed). In the park's website, there are lots of information for visitors, and high definition pdf maps for downloading, as well as a list of well trained guides on the park whenever the need arises. It's not possible to park in any spot by the road, the permitted parking areas will be sign posted. All around the park, it's possible to see restaurants, hotels and other private properties, which means there's no time available to do everything you'll find at the park. It's a highly recommended visit, and a place not to forget.

Absolutely beautiful! Had a great time, at Base & Altar, all clean ann orderly, a LOT of families and kids. Great job!
Amazing experience in the middle of nature
Always when I visit this place I get impressed. There are wonderful views from everywhere. During my last visit I took the trail called Rancho Caído, which was amazing!
A completely different environment if you use the north west entrance. Warning the 12km road can be very bad. Warning 2: Arrive early the last entrance is around 2pm. You must leave the park by 5pm. This may change during they year so it is best to chemo in advance.
Wonderful view. Worth the long walking. Be prepared physically.
Incredible!! Didn’t have time for the entire park, but the southern entrance waterfalls and jungle is absolutely wonderful. Not a single thing to not love ❤️❤️
