Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia

Reviewed By marcusrjr - Sao Paulo, Brazil

You can get to this beach by boat (average R$ 10 per person) or walking(this option you will need to enter Pontal do Atalaia by taxi or R$ 20 per car). It can be really crowded, you better arrive early and avoid weekends. Tje san is brigjt white and the sea is really blue. The water is very cold though. ( in Arraial do Cabo all of the beaches have a really cold water). This is the beach where there is a famous stair that evertbody takes some pictures. Please follow us on instagram: @mapamunditravel

Saco do Mamangua Beach

Reviewed By NewWorldSurfer - San Francisco, United States

Like most special places in the World, you pay dues to get there. If it is too easy it is ruined by overcrowding and inconsiderate people. The big issue here is the last 5 kilometers of the "road" to Paraty Mirim. Heavily washboarded and lots of mud. We made it in a rental car but if was rainy would be very easy to get stuck in the shin deep mud. 4X4 better, with higher ground clearance but lots do it in regular cars. Parking 20R for the day. The boatman would not go lower than 250R return despite dozens of boats and not so many customers. We are FIT travellers and refuse to go on tours with groups. This was true even before the Wuhan plague but all the more critical now. We did see the small bus so you can do it the cheap way for less than the cost of parking. The main beach was soso and crowded. You must hire boat to get to the world class beaches in the Saco (fjord) of Mamangua itself. The drive first suggested taking us to a beach with a restaurant which we declined. We bring our own cooler with food and deinks and asked for the best beach (which means undeveloped). Euginho Beach did not disappoint. Freshwater stream emerging from pile of rounbded rocks which meets the sea and very pristine sand , HUGE shade tree and restroom are only "facilities". and reef.

Parque Ibirapuera

The emerald heart of an oftentimes gray city, São Paulo's Parque do Ibirapuera offers respite from the urban madness among cool, shady trees and mentally-stimulating structures. Running trails, bike paths, and yoga and capoeira sessions let locals and visitors alike keep fit, while a clutch of museums and galleries — such as the museums of Modern and Contemporary Art, all designed by master Brazilian architect Oscar Niemeyer — gives the brain a good workout. The impressive Museu Afro Brasil and fiery Auditório Ibirapuera are two of the park's treasures.

Reviewed By andrearamires - Sao Paulo, Brazil

Lovely trees all over the park. Beautiful lake. Wonderful place to ride bikes ( you can also rent bikes on the weekends). Sundays are crowded. Wonderful museums inside the park as weel as an auditorium. Easy to park your car ( except on weekends). Food vendors everywhere.

This is the famous and Main Street of Búzios, where everybody goes at night to walk around, see the shops, look for a good restaurant to eat, flirt or just have fun with family, friends or dates. This Main Street is full of shops, restaurants, cafes that stay opened until late at night.

Nice place to spend a full day. Walk without a north, just walk and see the different kind of people doing their performances, visit the MASP museum and turn right in the Augusta Street to feel a bohemiam spirit of São Paulo.
