Gazing the ocena sunset at this place is a must in Arraial do Cabo. It's trully awe-inspiring and refreshing after a day at Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia.

Galeria Aecio Sarti

Art gallery in the historic center of paraty

Reviewed By Ananda100 - Nanaimo, Canada

I was lucky enough to meet the artist in residence and thoroughly enjoyed both the gallery and talking politics for an hour. A very impassioned man. For me his paintings delved into the images of solitary and connection to others.

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.

Don’t care wether the weathers good or bad you can’t come to Rio and not do this excursion- usually part of a multi experience ie Sugar Loaf - to stand there and see this magnificent sculpture with absolutely stunning views is breathtaking You can visit the small chapel at the bottom or just take in the views - selfies are obligatory mind-

Centro Historico

Reviewed By FlosFamily - Paraty, Brazil

We loved Paraty - we took photos galore and enjoyed exploring the miriad of different shops, bars and restaurants. The harbour and riverside with all their colourful boats were fascinating. The protected cobbles makes this a no car zone however the uneven cobbles are quite tricky to walk on. The high tide does come up over some of the streets which means you have to make detours. We felt completely safe here.

Centro Historico de Petropolis

Reviewed By RandyRoss - Ridgetown, Canada

One can see why the Portuguese Royal Family chose Petropolis as the location for their summer palace. This is a beautiful city in a great setting. We visited the Imperial Palace, the cathedral and the former casino, among other places.
