Amusement park
Beto Carrero World is the largest theme park in Latin America, located in Penha. It offers a mix of thrilling entertainment with themed thrill rides, live cabaret shows, and a zoo. The park is known for its variety of attractions suitable for the whole family. Additionally, Penha boasts beautiful beaches and delicious seafood cuisine, making it an ideal destination for a fun-filled vacation.
A great place for a vacation. Beto Carrero stands out to me because this is one of the first amusement parks that I visited outside my home country. The park has a wide variety of food to choose from though I won't recommend having them if you are in there for rides which gets crazy. I did the following rides, Spin: Perhaps one of the easiest rides. I enjoyed it and maybe you would too. Roller Coaster: This one was crazy. I could barely keep my eyes open throughout the ride though my girlfriend enjoyed the ride. She wants to go for it again tomorrow. Madagascar circus: This was brilliant. I loved it, my girlfriend loved it, the kids loved it and everyone loved it. Though I didn't understand Portuguese, I still could make out what was going on in the circus. River adventure: This made me the happiest because I was relaxed throughout the ride and thankfully it didn't try to kill me. Overall, I am very content with the adventure park. It is beautifully decorated with colours and has those majestic rides that give you an instant adrenaline rush. I am planning to go back tomorrow again to secure the rides I missed on Day 1. I will post another review shortly.

As a theme park junkie, BCW provides a magical atmosphere for adrenaline seekers and family outings! The Fire Whip is a best in class inverted coaster and the Madagascar river boat is a never ending water maze of fun. You’ll enjoy the Beto Carrero theme through the entire park - plus it’s clean, and the ride lines weren’t too long (we visited on a Monday). The best part is that the staff were friendly and all aspects were firing on all cylinders - all rides and food open! Whip it good!
Jordan Y — Google review
It is really nice place to visit with your kids and let your inner child go crazy with them. Somedays It is full occupied with the school kids trips. The staff need to be on top of crowd management during these busy times with school trips. Better rent stroller ( for kids) or scooter for old people or for yourself in case can't walk enough ( it's huge place to walk around for the shows and attractions). Advice you can rent items outside instead of inside the parque as the prices are way higher
Namaste F — Google review
Amazing park with tons to do for every age and taste! The only catch is: I recommend buying ONLINE AHEAD of time, as the day they wanted to charge us 3x the price but after letting them know we’d not pay that, the manager checked and they were able to give us a discount but it still cost twice as much. Overall great day between shows and rides, ending with fireworks and every one back. Would go back and get tickets/food choices prior to arriving. Ps. Parking is paid extra and they do allow you to enter with backpacks and water ;)

If I could go back in time, I’d never step foot in this park again. We’re not guests there we’re walking wallets. You guys keep milking us like cows, trying to squeeze every last penny out of us, and we would pay if we were happy , but we were on 100% disappointment . In these photos, you can see a screenshot showing the duration of one of the rides. We waited 45 minutes “Fast Pass” To go for a 40 seconds ride , and you call this “entertainment.” ?? The ride ended before I could even blink, and before you catch your breath, the employee is already rushing you out so the next 600 guests can be pushed in. Absolute garbage. In one of the videos, you can actually see people fighting, angry, shouting, completely frustrated. And that’s where the whole idea of an amusement park disappears. People shouldn’t be angry in a place meant for joy. The woman in that video didn’t even have what it called “Fast Pass” she’d been waiting for three hours. To get a ride for her kids, Meanwhile, your teenage employees move slowly, and couldn’t care less about the people. My advice to the management: Set a limit for yourselves. All this chaos happens because you accept as many guests as you can possibly fit , just to squeeze out a few more millions in the profit margin . Have some decency and put a cap, especially during high season, so people can actually enjoy and leave happy. And please, stop hiring only teenagers. Hire mature, trained adults who can actually handle problems when they arise. My advice to visitors: Avoid this place during high season. If you must go, try March or April , it might be slightly better. Be warned: everything inside is overpriced. Food, drinks, snacks , everything. Popcorn costs +R$30, a basic meal is R$50+, and there are endless extra fees. Don’t think buying the ticket is all you’ll spend , for two adults, expect at least R$300 for entry, another R$200 for the “Fast Pass,” plus 200 drinks and water. In general I won’t come back there again.

Perfect place to enjoy with kids! Beto Carrero park has a lot of attractions (radical, cultural and relaxing) for all ages. I recommend at least 2 days to enjoy most of the attractions If you are travelling with kids. They have partnership with DreamWorks Studios, which allow BCW deliver theme areas and shows, such as Madagascar, Shrek and Trolls.

Highly recommend, buy Fast past ticket to avoid a very long queue "40 to 120 mins". Perfect place for kids and family. You have to see yes or yes Hot Wheels show.

You have to be organize to ride the most attractions possible if you dont have the fast pass the files for most rides are loooooooooong but kinda worth it (?) the food is expensive but overall it was so much fun and a unique experience i wanna come back soon with friends

FireWhip is an exhilarating roller coaster where riders are suspended beneath the tracks, experiencing loops and steep drops. This thrilling ride offers an adrenaline rush and is a must-try for thrill-seekers. It may not be suitable for those with a fear of heights or discomfort with being off the ground. Despite the park's popularity, there were times when the queue was surprisingly short, allowing for minimal wait times.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful beach, the best in Penha, calm sea, ideal for children, but the lack of basic sanitation, lack of care by the city hall for this place really compromises the visit. Tourists throw trash on the sand, boats throw fish remains, open sewage, at certain times the smell is terrible... But it is so beautiful, owner of a wonderful sunset... It is a shame that it is so mistreated. (Original) Praia linda, a melhor d Penha, mar calmo, ideal para crianças, mas a falta d saneamento básico, falta d cuidado da prefeitura com esse lugar compromete mto a visita. Turistas jogam lixo na areia, barcos jogam restos d peixe, esgoto a céu aberto, determinados horários o cheiro é terrível... Mas é tão linda, dona d um pôr do Sol maravilhoso... Pena ser tão maltratada.

A good beach if you like to surf. In a good swell, it’s possible see barrels. Sometimes, mainly morning, the swell is very peaceful and you can enjoy water with your family safely. One negative point , there’s no trash bin throughout the beach and there’s no showers too. If you wanna clean your things, bring your own bottle of water. Walking to left to the beach you will find a lot of rocks and you can climb it to has a nice view of the ocean e the other beach’s.

João P — Google review
(Translated by Google) My top 1 on the list of best places in Santa Catarina, the refuge is a welcoming, unique place, a little spot of peace in the middle of the madness of everyday life, my best family memories of the last few years were there, it really is very special. I have stayed at the same place for over 10 years, since Marcelo's administration (which was great, I have no complaints, we stayed in all the apartments he built, and we even stayed in the chalet where he lives today, and it was always perfect), then it was managed by João and Tati, who were also good, but they ended up not being able to handle it, so we had to sort out a lot of things, but nothing that got in the way of our comfort, after all, we were always so well treated by both of them that we felt like we were at home. Recently, with Joãozinho's passing, Joãozinho's administration has been admirable, the campsite is always very clean and well-structured, the bathrooms are good, not luxurious, but great! The service is always fast, and at no time did we feel abandoned. I really support the place and always recommend it to all my friends and acquaintances, it's worth it! I'm just sad that nowadays most of the amenities are fixed rentals and not seasonal rentals. I miss having more options for couples and families, but I know that over time new amenities will definitely appear!! And I dream of the day that the boat will become an apartment hahahaha I had several conversations with João and he always told me how incredible it would be to stay there, and I completely agree hahaha Always good luck 🌟 (Original) Meu top 1 na lista de melhores lugares de Santa Catarina, o refúgio é um lugar acolhedor, único, um pontinho de paz no meio da loucura do cotidiano, as minhas melhores lembranças em família dos últimos anos foram aí, é realmente muito especial. Fico no mesmo lugar a mais de 10 anos, desde a administração do Marcelo (que era ótima, não tenho reclamações, ficamos em todos os apartamentos que foram construídos por ele, e inclusive, já ficamos no chalé onde hoje ele mora, e sempre foi perfeito), depois teve administração do seu João e da Tati, que também eram boas, mas acabavam não dando conta, então muitas coisas tínhamos que resolver, mas nada que atrapalhasse a comodidade, afinal a gente sempre foi tão bem tratado por ambos que sentíamos que estávamos em casa. Recentemente, com o falecimento do seu João, a administração do Joãozinho tem sido admirável, o camping está sempre muito bem limpo e estruturado, os banheiros são bons, sem luxo, mas ótimos! O atendimento é sempre ágil, e em nenhum momento nos sentimos desamparados. Torço muito pelo local, e sempre indico para todos amigos e conhecidos, vale a pena! Só fico triste por hoje ser a grande maioria das comodidades de aluguel fixo e não para temporada, sinto saudades de ter mais opções tanto para casal ou família, mas sei que com o tempo com certeza surgiram novas comodidades!! E sonho com o dia que o barco irá virar um apartamento hahahaha tive várias conversas com o seu João e ele sempre me contava o quanto ia ficar incrível uma acomodação ali, e eu concordo plenamente kkkkkkkk Sucesso sempre 🌟

No ice for sale. Positive points: well-wooded, has several barbecues with grills, and some tables that you can use to set up near your tent. The beach is about 50 meters away. PETS are allowed If you only go with a tent, you have to like camping or be well-equipped because there are no nearby things like a bakery or market, which can be a bit of a hassle. Especially for freezing things that need refrigeration. (Original) Camping roots, sem muita infraestrutura, não tem área comum, sem geladeira. dois banheiros com chuveiros. um pouco precários, se tiver muita gente gerando filas. não tem gelo para vender. Pontos positivos: bem arborizado, tem várias churrasqueiras com grelhas, e algumas mesas que vc pode pegar, para por perto de sua barraca. A praia fica a uns 50 metros. aceita PETS Se vc for só com uma barraca, vc tem que gostar de acampar ou ser bem equipado pois não tem coisas perto como padaria, mercado ficando um certo transtorno. principalmente para gelar as coisas que necessitam de refrigeração.

(Translated by Google) The water was clean, the area had spots with sewage, or water coming from somewhere we couldn't identify, the smell of something rotten, maybe vegetation... we couldn't identify it. There were no structures to serve tourists or visitors. Nothing around or nearby. (Original) A água estava limpa, a área apresentava pontos com esgoto, ou água proveniente de algum lugar que não conseguimos identificar, odor de algo podre, talvez vegetação...não conseguimos identificar. Nenhuma estrutura para atender turistas ou frequentadores. Nada ao redor ou proximidades.

(Translated by Google) The location is actually good, but it is very poorly maintained, it only has 1 bathroom and 1 shower, for that price I'll go camping in Bombinhas, and another thing is that next to our tent there were two hippies who smoked weed all the time. (Original) A localização até que é boa, mas é muito mal cuidado, tem apenas 1 banheiro, e 1 chuveiro, nesse preço vou pra bombinhas acampar, e outra que do lado da nossa barraca tinha dois hippies que fumavam erva direto

(Translated by Google) It looks like a private beach, wonderful, calm, and if you go, always be polite and quiet, location is a little difficult to access (Original) Parece muito uma praia privativa, maravilhosa, calma, e se for seja sempre educado e silêncio, localização com um pouco de dificuldade para acessar
Ana P — Google review
(Translated by Google) Nice place to have access to a small beach with a beautiful sunset, it's a shame that sometimes there are partygoers who leave trash and come with speakers, but at the end of the day there are usually only people there to enjoy the beautiful spot and the sunset. (Original) Lugar bacana para ter acesso a uma praia pequena e com pôr do sol lindo, pena que as vezes tem farofeiros que deixam lixo e vem com caixa de som , mas final do dia normalmente só tá a galera pra curtir o cantinho bonito e o pôr do sol
Marcos H — Google review
(Translated by Google) Access to the beach is via a very short trail, 150m. It's not possible to cycle the trail, but it's quite possible to walk down it or ride a bike. Some people who went along the trail when I was there did so, and it was super easy. (Original) Acesso à praia por uma trilha bem curta, 150m. Não é possível fazer a trilha pedalando, mas é bem possível descer a pé, conduzindo a bicicleta, algumas pessoas que frequentaram a trilha quando fui, fizeram dessa forma e foi super tranquilo.
Rafael S — Google review
(Translated by Google) March 12, 2024. It wasn't possible to get there by car, but the trail is short and very easy, about 5 minutes. The beach is deserted, with coarse sand and small waves, but you have to be careful when entering the water, as it sinks suddenly and there are rocks at the bottom. I didn't give it a 5 because of the trash thrown there. The city government of Penha is very poor in terms of cleanliness. (Original) Dia 12/03/2024. Não deu para chegar de carro até lá, mas a trilha é curtinha e bem tranquila, coisa de 5min. A praia é deserta, areia mais grossa, ondas pequenas mas tem que ter atenção ao entrar na água, pois afunda de repente e tem pedras no fundo. Não dei nota 5 por causa do lixo jogado lá. A prefeitura de penha peca muito no quesito limpeza.
Vanessa B — Google review
(Translated by Google) The place is incredibly easy to access. Unfortunately, however, people still don't understand that the trash they take with them should be taken back and disposed of correctly. A nice trail, calm sea, fine sand, and the sound of nature prevails. The view of the entire area of ​​Piçarras, Barra Velha and top... It's a shame that it's abandoned and there are no people who respect nature. Soon, we at @tripdemochilaecaneca will make a change to the place, so that everyone can store their trash and have a cleaner beach and environment. (Original) O lugar é incrivelmente, de fácil acesso. Porém, infelizmente as pessoas ainda não entendem que o lixo que elas levam devem voltar e ser descartado e forma correta. Uma trilha gostosa, mar tranquilo, areia fina, e o som da natureza prevalece. A vista de toda a área de Piçarras, Barra Velha e top... Uma pena ser largado e não ter pessoas que respeitam a natureza. Mais logo, nós do @tripdemochilaecaneca faremos uma mudança no local, para que todos possam armazenar seus lixos e termos uma praia e um ambiente mais limpo.

Praia Do Monge in Penha is a hidden gem, often considered a semi-deserted beach and even dubbed as a secret paradise by some. Accessible via a rough dirt road and requiring some rock climbing to reach the sandy shore, this small beach offers tranquility away from the crowds. However, there have been reports of limited access due to local residents closing off the area.

(Translated by Google) A place of lush nature to explore, but there is no signposted trail to get there. It is not on the local tourist route. (Original) Local de natureza exuberante para se conhecer, mas falta uma trilha sinalizada para chegar lá. Não está na rota de turismo local.

(Translated by Google) A paradisiacal place, super calm. A great option for those who don't like crowds lol... only access to the beach, which is more complicated, you have to do some climbing to get there, but it's worth it. (Original) Lugar paradisíaco, super calmo. Uma ótima opção pra quem não gosta de multidão rsrs....apenas o acesso a praia, que é mais complicado, tem que fazer algumas escaladas pra chegar, mas vale a pena.
