This national Park exceeded my expectations. Beautiful sand dunes with amazing lagoons. We got daily tours arranged by Pe n'areia ecoturismo, and a couple of days were with guides from Vale dos lençois. This park is very unique, jaw-dropping!

This was simply one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life. I have already recommended this to friends and family that plan to visit Brazil in the future. We saw a shy river otter, tons of huge fish, and even floated under a tree filled with monkeys. Not to mention the incredible natural phenomenon where the spring that feeds the river comes up from the riverbed under a sand floor and looks like boiling sand. Check out the BBC Documentary Seven Worlds One Planet to see an HD version of this incredible river. The lunch afterwards was incredibly good, and I highly recommend chatting with the employees. I was taken around the grounds at the visitors center and shown all of the different birds that congregate in the trees on the property. Big red macaws and a few beautiful Toucans among many others.

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.

An experience of integration with nature, culture, traditions, handicrafts and local gastronomy that contributes to the sustainable development of a destination, since it generates the least environmental impact when compared to other tourist activities.

The trail to the beach is a little bit tiring. But it worths all the efforts. It's an amazing view and a beautiful beach. It's advisable to take food and drink with you.

Beautiful deep canyon carved into the edge of the plateau. It is a fairly rough dirt road leading from Cambara do Sul to the canyon, I arrived in Cambara too late in the morning to catch the (only?) bus that goes to the canyon, but I was very quickly picked up hitchhiking by some very kind locals. The short hike around the Northeastern tip of the canyon proved some nice viewpoints to see the canyon and waterfalls spilling into it. Unfortunately I did not have time to hike further around the Southwestern elbow of the canyon. All things considered, it is worth the trip, but would probably recommend renting a car, and seeing both this and the Fortaleza Canyon in the same day.
10. Iporanga beach
