Disappointed in this experience. Beautiful location but the amenities need improvement. One pool was not working, other pool was ridiculously hot with no shaded area. This should have been disclosed up front. Additional activities required purchase through a 3rd party which was only disclosed when we arrived. Overall, there's a lot to improve.

This large, popular zoo with a lake & forest features many animal exhibits & an educational museum.
It’s a really worth place to visit.
As of April, 2023, entrance fee is 8 BRL per adult, 4 BRL per kid.
It’s not so big land, they don’t have any kind of animals such as São Paulo zoo, but it’s not crowded, we can see rare birds, monkeys, snakes and others.
Less than 2 hours is enough to see all.
We enjoyed our holiday there.

Good place to in family, 2 to 4 hours is enough to see all the animals, if necessary there are spots of drinking water through the park and a pic-nic area, and a restaurant inside the park, but not so good, outside has another options even better and cheaper.

This place is surprisingly well conserved. The zoo crew makes a really good job in keeping the place tidy (which is an exception for Brazilian public places). Very good for family trips and small children.

Nice zoo, there are a lot of different animals and many animals from brazil. The lion and tiger enclosures were not accessible when we visited. They have many birds ranging from exotic ducks to several types of aras. They also have a hippo, several types of crocodiles, snakes, foxes and wild dogs.

Ski Mountain Park offers an impressive entertainment facility that features an artificial ski slope, toboggan hill slides, ice skating rink and concessions. It's a perfect destination for families looking to spend quality time with their kids. However, the amenities are not budget-friendly and may require significant spending to participate in the activities. Overall, Ski Mountain Park is an ideal spot for those seeking adventurous experiences but should be prepared to spend a little extra for the privilege.
Good place to come with the kids. But not very cheap to play.
Lucas Choi — Google review
It could have everything to be a nice place for families but it is poorly organized and overpriced (I believe overpriced is an understatement in their case). It’s the first place where you have to pay twice for ride, on your way up and on the way down.... food also comes with a huge price tag. Altogether prepare your wallet if you really want to go.

If you find yourself in the region, this is one of the few options to have some leisure in town. It's a Park with a few attractions and, most prominently an artificial skiing slope.

I visited this place to get acquainted with the culture of Buddhism. It was a wonderful experience, people are friendly and will gladly show and explain everything, the building and the territory are very beautiful and well maintained. Very quiet, calm and spiritually and mentally ... Free parking, and next to a huge beautiful green park with a pond in which there are many turtles. Bought some Chinese souvenirs and incense from a local shop.
Tatiana Kalinina — Google review
I was able to visit the temple last Sunday with friends, and I must say that it was such a stellar place! It is not hard to navigate, everything can be found rather easily. The lake they have there is lovely, having fish and turtles that were easy to see. We saw some colourful birds, and the bridge over the lake was a cool feature. There are vivid, colourful landscapes to be seen. The statues remind you that you are not in an ordinary place. The temple itself and its surroundings are nothing like the architecture we see in this country, so it draws your eyes to the roofs, walls, doors, finishings and more. There were people ready to provide useful information. There was some sort of celebration going on, and it was interesting to see. This is definitely a great place to visit even if you are not a religious individual, as the temple is absolutely stunning!

This a magnificente Buddhist temple ! Whether you want to stay quiet and calm or learn more about Chinese culture, there are several activities you can develop there, for example the traditional Chinese calligraphy classes. When they celebrate the new Chinese year the whole temple receives hundreds of people and they perform various traditional rituals and dances. Tip: go with comfortable clothes !

Av. Prof. Hermann Von Ihering, 6567, Jardim Casa Grande, São Paulo - SP, 04870-901, Brazil
Ibirapuera Park is a large park in Sao Paulo, Brazil with many of the citys well-known museums and recreational areas. The park was originally commissioned as part of the citys 400th anniversary celebration, but due to budget cuts, some of Niemeyer's original plans were not implemented. Today, the park is still one of the most popular attractions in Sao Paulo, with over 14.4 million visits per year.
Do not leave São Paulo without visiting this park. The park is extremely beautiful and large with so much to see. The natural beauty is very hard to describe and show in photos. There are also several great local food vendors here, with some very nice picnic areas. Definitely a nice break from the cityscape of São Paulo.

Pretty park with lush grounds. We rented the bikes they offer and rode around the place. The bikes for 2 are $4/hr! And the bicycles are $2/hr. Lots of carts selling fresh coconut juice, and other snacks. Plenty spots to have a picnic. Stopped at a restaurant there, with very friendly service. The restrooms very clean too! 👍

It has been called the "green lung" of the city. Ibirapuera has all the facilities you could want to spend a pleasant day with family, friends or by yourself - there's so much to do from sports to museums. And the best thing is you can get about easily by bike, cart, or by foot!

A nice pack in the middle of the city. Think of it as Central Park on New York City, the Brazilian version though 😜. You can rent bikes to go around the park, enjoy the view of the water and also visit the Afro Museum and some other near by attractions. The entry to the park is free. It has a number of eateries and hawkers within the park for drinks and food. It can get hot so be prepared.

One of the best places to visit in São Paulo. Favourite park in the city for many. The lake with all the fishes is indeed mesmerizing except for some waste that is thrown there. Ample space for one to breathe, spend time. With Museums and the Auditorium, it just adds feathers to the crown. I thoroughly enjoyed my time there.

Great place to enjoy nature, have a nice long walk/run, read a book next to the lake, take your kids to have fun, see the art expositions and even visit the planetarium inside.
There are some restaurants with decent food and you can buy snacks all around the park.
If you’re a foreigner, it’s super safe (even at night)!

I visited Avenida Paulista on Feb 2021, right on the day the State of Sao Paulo announced another lockdown. I thought there will be no people out on the streets but I was so wrong. People can still roam around freely. I'm so glad I decided to travel to Brazil beginning of Feb 2021. I had fun seeing the city and the people. With the help of the subway (plus the subway fare is so cheap), visiting point A to point B isn't that complicated. I had fun! I take all photos myself, even my selfie! Check out my IG- @jl.dormido

São Paulo - State of São Paulo, Brazil
I'll never travel to Rio de Janeiro without this trip planner again
The Pinacoteca de São Paulo is an art museum located in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. It is one of the most important museums in Brazil, and its collection skews heavily towards the Brazilian Modernists. The museum has an 11,000-works-strong collection, and its building was designed by Pritzker Architecture prize-winner Paulo Mendes da Rocha.
I loved this museum. I have been to many museusm around the world, but I found the experience here to be extremely unique. Each room you enter had a placard that not only explained the exhibit, but asked thought provoking questions, that made you really view the exhibit with an open mind. This was definitely a very unique experience. And the building itself was also a work of art to be enjoyed. Make sure you give yourself at least 3 hours here to really walk through all the museum has to offer.
Pedram Esm — Google review
One of the most beautiful museums I've been to. They have a great selection of pieces, with differing mediums, the space is clean and comfortable. The main entry goes thru a sunroom with super high glass ceilings, currently showing pieces done with wood, so you can smell the sap being warned by the sun.
The staff was friendly and kind, very helpful and attentive. Bathrooms were clean.
The pieces being showcased are very well selected, I think. And the infrastructure is beautiful.
Georgi Bianchi — Google review
This is truly one of the best museums in the world. Pinacoteca is one of those places that you would need days to truly understand and decompress.
With a great collection of Brazilian Modernist Era, the museum’s architecture details its a must all by itself.
Besides it’s great collection the museum also have temporary exhibitions with great artists, so it be good to check it before attending.
The tickets to temporary exhibitions and weekends tends to sold out very quickly, and there is one day of the week when you can get in for free.
If you’re going by public transportation be careful to the surroundings, the neighborhood it’s not dangerous but don’t be distracted with your belongings.
Also take some time to walk in the garden with lots of sculptures by different artists is a very enjoyable experience by itself.
If you wanna take some pictures I suggest the afternoon lighting that entes that glass ceiling, it’s just idyllic.

Aleksei Kaliukin — Google review
This museum is one of the oldest in São Paulo. The art collection is huge, each room is overflowing with different pieces. In a way it is actually quite overwhelming and intense, it’s difficult to digest the sheer amount. There is no flowing journey or consistency. There is deep contrast not just room to room, but often throughout a room. You would need to spend an entire day here to truly begin to appreciate and digest what’s on display. It’s quite remarkable at the same time. I recommend a visit.

The Pinacoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo is one of the most prominent art museums in Sao Paulo, located next to Estação da Luz, which is connected to the Metro Yellow Line. Entry is totally free on Saturdays (and on Thursday nights, 6pm to 10 pm)
The Pinacoteca's was designed by Ramos de Azevedo, building is a beautiful example of Brazilian architecture from the early 20th century. In 1998, it went through a masterful renovation process, designed by the Pritzer Prize laureate, architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha. The museum's interior gallery spaces are well thought out and provides an excellent backdrop for the art on display. The galleries are spacious. The natural light of the atriums, connected by steel bridges is the perfect symbiosis between the classic building and contemporary architecture.
The museum's café in the underground floor connects with Praça da Luz, providing an exuberant view of the park and a relaxing atmosphere, a pleasant and calm space that could make you forget you're in the fourth most populated city on earth (and one of the most dangerous areas of Sao Paulo).
The museum's collection is vast, covering a range of styles and periods, with an emphasis on Brazilian art from the 19th century to the present day. The Pinacoteca is especially known for its collection of modernist art, featuring works by well-known Brazilian artists such as Tarsila do Amaral, Anita Malfatti, and Lasar Segall. Additionally, the museum has an extensive collection of photographs, engravings, and drawings, providing visitors with a comprehensive view of Brazilian art history.
Overall, the Pinacoteca do Estado de Sao Paulo is a world-class, must-visit for anyone interested in Brazilian art and culture. The museum's impressive collection, beautiful architecture, and commitment to education make it one of the most important cultural institutions one could ask for.

Must see museum in São Paulo. Beautiful building with nice sights to Estação da Luz.
Exhibitions are very well organized and inviting.
The only downside is that the museum surroundings tend to be not so safe when police is not around. But if you are an average Brazilian you will be able to handle it just fine.

Even since before I planned my trip to Brazil I knew I wanted to visit the Pinacoteca at one point in my life. The building is reminiscent of a classical temple, and has a massive collection of works in all plastic arts. I loved the educational focus of the exhibits, the fact that they are arranged by topic and not by region or century, and all the accessibility infrastructure all around. Truly one of the best museums I have been to in Brazil.

Praça da Luz, 2 - Luz, São Paulo - SP, 01120-010, Brazil
The Mercado Municipal de São Paulo is a historical building with stands selling rare fruit, vegetables, and dairy produce, as well as a food court. The market's specialty is mortadella sandwiches; for the definitive version, try the crowded upstairs Hocca Bar. Ki Peixe also serves big flat oysters shucked to order while you wait for your fish to be cleaned.
A very large and beautiful market with lots to see. If you're visiting, there are lots of unique local items to purchase here. I loved seeing all the hand made items that were being made there. There are great restaurants on the second floor as well. The mortadella sandwiches are an absolute must try! They are heavy but extremely delicious.

Loved how beautiful the food looks, the building has great features too. Too bad you get the feeling you have to excuse yourself if you don't want to try the products from every other stand. I can imagine some people like to sample everything, but I don't feel comfortable. The famous sandwich is great, but a bit too much meat, but hey that's the typical Brazilian style!

The Museu do Café in Santos is a museum dedicated to the history of coffee, housed in the historic building of the former Official Coffee Exchange. The architecture of the building is intricate and beautiful, with many details to admire. Inside, visitors can explore various exhibits showcasing objects, documents and audio-visual presentations that tell the story of coffee both in Brazil and around the world.
A journey through time!
The building inside is beautiful and the architecture is wonderful.
Very interesting place, for those who love coffee!
It has a cafeteria that serves a brewed coffee that is delicious! ❤
I went in Dec / 20 and on the outside it is covered in renovation, not being able to take photos.
In the surroundings there are beautiful buildings that are worth the scenery.
The museum itself is fine.
The monument is beautiful and, although it is not as interesting a visit in the city as the Aquarium or the Sacred Art Museum, it is worth it.
The problem is, ironically, as another comment pointed out, in the cafe.
I have the costume of drinking coffees of various types and expected much more from the place. Do not go to the cafeteria because you calculate expensive for ordinary coffees prepared in an ordinary way.
If you ask for the museum's iced coffee with milk - which now costs R $ 18.00 and is one of the cheapest items in the establishment - you will leave with the impression that your homemade coffee with a little milk and ice would have came out tastier.
Again, go to the museum, don't go to the cafeteria.

Located in a former Coffee Exchange that dates back to 1922.
You can see the magnificent trading floor and admire three historical paintings.
Don't forget to take a picture of the awesome stained glass ceiling window "The Saga of the Banderiantes": I suggest taking it from the center of the trading floor.
The museum also has a cafeteria where you can try coffee made from the beans that originated from the different regions of Brasil.

The building is beautiful and there’s also information about the architecture and its origins. All of the information on the walls/signs is displayed in Portuguese but there’s large cards with all the same information in Spanish/English available too. Very informative! Entry was 10 reais.

Aquário Municipal de Santos is a well-known aquarium that showcases a diverse collection of both fresh and saltwater species, including penguins. When planning your visit to the area, Hotels.com can help you find the perfect accommodation, whether it be a budget-friendly option or an upscale hotel. By using the map-based search feature on their website, you can easily locate hotels in close proximity to the aquarium and other nearby landmarks and neighborhoods.
Very small but lovely entertainment for kids if you in Santos! Kids up to certain age for free and adults only 8 reais - great value!

This is a nice simple place to visit, especially on a rainy day when the beach isn't so nice. It's a small aquarium with a nice collection of fish and similar creatures. The one depressing tank was with the sea turtle. It was just a tank and water, no earth features or other stuff. I'm hoping that it is a work in progress.

I was convinced to enter inside because the man who assisted the tourists outside. He said there is a shark inside. the Shark weighing 32 tons, he said. Sad to know there's is no Shark inside, only a small fish, penguins, sea turtle, fresh water turtle, and a few species of fish inside.. it's disgusting, guys. To all tourists reading this, please don't believe the man who introduced you to buy a ticket worth 10 rias for entrance but nothing to see inside its like a public market selling fish. this is not a tourist attraction it's a tourist distraction.

While I understand why people may think is a place to visit in 30 minutes (after an hour in line during the holidays period. Tip, if you go to the orchidiarium before (well worth a visit) you can buy ticket for both there, and then just skip the line at the acuario!) I think you can slow down, and take time on each tank to identify the fish, there origin, etc. Still the beginning of the place is a little claustrophobic, really notable the difference with the most modern area at the end. Super cute stuffed animals at the shop, but really overpriced. We just play for a while with them! 🤣😉

The Balneario Municipal de Aguas de Lindoia, located in a charming town near Sao Paulo, offers a wide range of 40 services including baths, showers, massages and mineral water pools. This spa is renowned for its abundant medicinal waters that are believed to have healing properties. Visitors can also enjoy the best spring water and "Cachaca" in the region. A particular attraction is the place where the water is sourced from - considered by many to be the best in town.

We went to stay two nights and left after lunch on the first day. The place looks nothing like the photos on the website. It was dirty, blankets from last century, food served was dry and very little variety. The way it was served was with a lack of interest as was the general feeling of all the park. A real pity for our 10 year olds birthday surprise

The food seemed reasonable to me.
Espatinhos, mini pizzas, and pastéis were all R$7 and were as good quality as you would find in any Festa Junina. The pastel was even big. The baru was particularly good.
The park was very cute. It was obvious they paid attention to the small details.
The rides were a lot of fun, especially the Nitro-x and the other ride right next to it (that one was maybe even better!)
We spent about 7 hours there and didn't even do everything.
It could be worth it to stay the night at the Posada and spend the whole weekend there.

Praia da Enseada is the largest urban beach in Guaruja spanning 5.6 kilometers with a promenade, cycle lane and palm trees. The beach has clear waters and is known for its waves making it a popular spot for surfing, particularly the middle and right corners. Food kiosks and restaurants can be found along the beach offering reasonably priced food and beverages. In winter months, the beach is quiet but still pleasant enough to enjoy a peaceful day by the sea.
My second home. Love this beach. Not overly crowed. But not secluded either. The right mix for the perfect family day at the beach.
Matt B. — Google review
Enseada Beach - a huge bay beach, fully illuminated. Main in Guaruja so it is very crouded.
Walking along the beach, we saw a terrible view of rubbish. The beaches here are supposed to be cleaned by cleaning crews, BUT after staying on the beach, people leave rubbish in the place where they were sunbathing. It is not so bad when they are closed in a bag, however most often they are loose. The evening rest on the beach after sunset (around 6:30 pm), in some dry sand, begins with looking for a place free from the sight of rubbish.
The ocean's view is beautyfull though

Lovely place! At weekends it is the favorite spot of bikers and motorcycle riders, since the road to the station is very pleasant. You may want to take a spin in a historically important train known as "Velha Senhora", the Old Lady, and feel what it was like to travel via railroads back in the 20's. After that, don't forget to visit the brewery in front of the station and treat yourself with some good beer and appetizers. Only way you won't enjoy any of it is if you're the kind of person who can't slow it down or be patient. Seriously. Not for rushers.

(Translated by Google) Pico da Pedra Partida is the second highest in the Monte Verde region and has a beautiful view of much of the Paraíba Valley.
The access trail has indicative signs and red ribbons on some trees along the way, especially in places that may raise questions.
It took us 1 hour to climb the approximately 900m to the top. And on the way back we only spent 40 minutes.
At the top there is a sign indicating the altitude and name, great for photos.
The downside is restricted access by MOVE, which charges R$35.90/person. This amount could very well be used for a "single pass" with access to the 5 peaks in the region. This would both attract more tourists and capture the resources necessary for improvements and conservation of the site.
(Original)
O Pico da Pedra Partida é o segundo mais alto da região de Monte Verde e tem uma vista muito linda de boa parte do Vale do Paraíba.
A trilha de acesso possui placas indicativas e fitas vermelhas em algumas árvores ao longo do caminho, especialmente nos locais que podem gerar alguma dúvida.
Levamos 1h para subir os cerca de 900mt até o topo. E na volta gastamos apenas 40 min.
No topo há uma placa indicando a altitude e o nome, ótima para foto.
O senão é o acesso restrito pela MOVE que cobra R$35,90/pessoa. Esse valor poderia muito bem servir para um "passe único" com acesso aos 5 picos da região. O que tanto atrairia mais turistas quanto captaria os recursos necessários às melhorias e conservação do local.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful landscape and worth the effort. The trail is not well signposted but it is possible to follow the path. If you are not physically fit, the trail takes around 2h - 2h30 (don't be in a rush to get there) and has complicated and slippery sections.
The trail has 2 viewpoints (close to the final destination). Go with good shoes, water, a blouse and long pants.
I recommend leaving in the morning, preferably before 9, to avoid the midday sun on top of the broken stone.
(Original)
Paisagem maravilhosa e vale o esforço. A trilha não é bem sinalizada mas é possível seguir o caminho. Se você não tem preparo físico a trilha leva por volta de 2h - 2h30 (não tenha pressa de chegar) e possui trechos complicados e escorregadios.
A trilha possui 2 mirantes (próximos ao destino final). Vá com um calçado bom, água, uma blusa e calça comprida.
Recomendo sair de manhã, preferencialmente antes das 9, para evitar o sol do meio dia no topo da pedra partida.

(Translated by Google) It's the most difficult trail, as at some points you have to climb some rocks (prepare to get a little dirty lol). In some places you can get lost, as the trail is not well marked (I recommend going with a GPS if you go without a guide) but it is an incredible view, worth the effort.

Time: Signage says 1h30m but with stops for photos and enjoying the sounds of the birds it took us 2h40m. The return was faster. Wonderful landscapes. I recommend going early to have time to stop at the various viewpoints along the way. Bring water and fruit for breakfast if possible. I also recommend shoes suitable for trails or at least sneakers. Google Maps has the trail marked.

A volta foi mais rápida. Paisagens maravilhosas. Recomendo ir cedo para ter tempo de parar nos vários mirantes pelo caminho. Leve água e se possível frutas do café da manhã. Recomendo também calçados próprios para trilhas ou no mínimo tênis. O Google Maps tem a trilha demarcada.

Maresias Beach is a long and wide beach with strong waves. It's a great spot to relax and soak up the sun or surf some nice waves. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby, making it the perfect spot to spend a day or night in Maresias.
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.

(Translated by Google) It was surprising to find a woodcut museum so organized and rich. He occupies a wonderful house, spacious and well maintained. We were very well received and received important information about its creator and his desire to ensure that it is taken care of by one of the most important Universities in the world, however, this desire seems distant as it is not in the interest of the higher institution to receive such a donation. honorable is worthy of praise. The Woodcut Museum is unique and of inestimable beauty and value!

Foi surpreendente encontrar um museu de xilogravura tão organizado é rico. Ele ocupa uma casa maravilhosa , espaçosa é bem cuidada. Fomos muito bem recebidos e recebemos informações importantes acerca de seu idealizador e de sua vontade de fazer com que ele seja cuidado por uma das Universidades mais importantes do mundo, no entanto, esse desejo parece distante por não ser do interesse da instituição superior receber doação tão honrosa é digna de louvores. O Museu da Xilogravura é único e de beleza e valor inestimável!

(Translated by Google) A unique experience!
Visiting the Casa da Xilogravura Museum is experiencing the story of how prints were recorded, in other words, it is mandatory!
The team that makes up the museum is fully prepared to share historical knowledge of each step in the evolution of printing.
Congratulations and thank you very much!!!

Accessed by boat or trail, this stunning, remote beach is known for water sports & panoramic views.
One of the most beautiful beaches I’ve ever see!

Beautiful beach on top
Of an island called Ilhabela. However, beware that there are highly infectious mosquitoes by the name of barrachudos that might end with the paradise

Wonderful beach! Very peaceful, well preserved and quite long. Great option if you're looking for a more quite place or surfing.

This is a wonderful beach. Beautiful views and plenty of places to relax. There was also numerous restaurant options. Towards the South end of the beach there is a great overlook perfect for pictures. My wife and I especially enjoyed renting body boards and enjoying the large waves. This will be the highlight of our trip and made us feel like kids again.

So beautiful but BRING INSECT REPELLENT AND REAPPLY OFTEN. I was bitten over 50 times (honestly I counted) in the 15 minutes between swimming and eating when I reapplied repellent. All of the group had allergic reactions and were ill. It's incredibly beautiful and fun to swim and explore but be careful of the swarming mosquitoes.

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!

Helmut Pilz — Google review
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.

Beautiful beach in the north side of Ilhabela. Access via an unpaved road
Marcos G. Santos — Google review
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.
Daniela C. — Google review
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.

I'll never travel to Rio de Janeiro without this trip planner again
Lopes Mendes Beach, located in Brazil, is a remote and undeveloped beach with stunning views of surrounding almond trees and mountains. Its location facing the Atlantic makes it a popular destination for surfers due to its excellent surfing waves. The beach can be accessed via Ilha Grande's well-known walking trail, which takes about three hours and covers 6.1 km from Abraao's town beach to Praia do Pouso.
One of the prettiest beaches I've ever seen - the sand is powder-like and bright white, the coastline is long and the views are unadulterated since boats are not allowed near the shore.
Access only available via hiking. Like most environmentally protected zones, infrastructure on the beach is limited (no fresh water showers, etc.). You will find vendors selling sandwiches, beer, water and soft drinks.
Jan Laenge — Google review
A paradise, beauty beyonds any words all around,thin clean bright sand dazzling us under a beautiful sky, definitively one of the most amazing beaches I have seen in years.
There is a bit of hiking to get there,an around 20 minutes walk across a stunning forest, we saw colorful birds in it and eagles on the beach.
Sardanapolo — Google review
It's a good beach, but I wouldn't say it's the best beach I have ever seen in brasil. It's a nice beach, but it's quite similar and in my opinion not more special than other beaches I have been to in Brasil.

A 2 hour hike from main Ilha Grande port and pretty steep. Around 300m elevation gain. You can get a taxi boat back in both the bays. The beach itself is nice, but not particularly beautiful. It’s surrounded by mountains though. No food or drink there. The waves are pretty large if you want to swim
Jack Barry — Google review
This place is SURREAL! We got to visit this beach early in the morning and it was a magical moment alone in the world!
There is a small walk of around 15 minutes to get there, if you are lucky enough you will spot monkeys and birds !
Estefania Nechanian — Google review
What a beach 🏝 a real paradise beach. The beach is very long so you can easily find a suite spot away from the crowds. There is little food and drinks for sale on the beach, so make sure you bring some before you leave. It is also a bit of a muddy hike trough the jungle before you get to the beach, so best to wear the right footwear
Joachim S. — Google review
Very good beach if you are a surfer. There are large waves there. If you want to swim this isn't the place. There are surfing schools on the beach, stands with drinks. There is no taxi boat that you can take from there (unless you have arranged pick up in advance).
Victoria Holodovsky — Google review
the hike is definitely worth doing
Romain Bwn — Google review
Soft soft white beach when you step on the sand its like stepping into fresh snow that crunch sound! We walked from Abraão beach through the forest. If you are a hiker I recommend it, its a 2hr hike. BUT I’m not a hiker so took us 3 hrs while it was beautiful and we saw monkeys and birds if i do it again I’d take a boat so i have more time on the beach

The most wonderful beach I have ever experienced. I hope it stays clean and without any facility and hotels, leaving it as it is makes this the best place on earth.
Clean warm and calm water, beautiful white sand, small fishes and places to hide from the hot sun.
Not many people go there so it’s super quiet.
Tiago DSP — Google review
Very long sandy beach. Apparently once voted among the best beaches in the world but I don't see why, as it is not very special or photogenic.
The life guards mark most of the beach unsafe to swim and only leave a small part open in front of their watch tower. But that part is so shallow that it's not possible to swim there and beyond that there are huge waves so again not swimmable.
The best thing about the beach is that it is so big you can find a spot with no one around. The trail to get there from the drop off point is about 20 minutes and you can see some cute looking monkeys there if you're lucky.

Spacious nude beach with strong waves, a relaxed setting & views of offshore islands.
Love this nude beach. It's near Classico but on the opposite side of the entrance behind the rocks. There is no signal in the area so you will need to plan ahead, carry cash for a taxi, or walk the hill for a signal.

Great bar and great atmosphere. It's well worth the trip out here and it's also a great spot for a swim. We were here mid week in the early afternoon, so it wasn't busy at all, but imagine it'd get crowded on weekends.
Guy — Google review
Two places in one. If looking at the sea, on your right you have the regular beach, but on your left (passing those large rocks) you got a nudist beach. The whole place is wonderful. Today the water was clean and transparent, so you could see your feet. The only problem is to get back home, since there's not phone signal there. You should schedule with a driver to pick you up.
Rodrigo Gonzalez — Google review
Hidden gem. If you walk past the left side corner and go by and around big rocks on the beach sand you get access to the naturist area where clothing is optional. Great place to go for a swim and hang out for a bit in nature. It could really be an idilic place if it were not for the super weird men who are there not to be in harmony with nature but rather to let their sexual nature come out aggressively and extremely impolitely.
Gustavo R — Google review
Excellent beach. Sea is rough in the middle. Recommend staying on the right hand side of the beach, close to the rocks. The water is a bit calmer there and a car park is available.
Ronald Groot — Google review
Bit far from the city if you don’t have a car but definitely the most beautiful beach in Rio
Brennan Wilkes — Google review
Rio’s nudist beach. Worth visiting once as it is quite nice and quiet. Don’t stay after sundown. Might be hard to get an uber come and rescue you (switch to cash if they keep cancelling).
Prainha Beach is a stunning and peaceful crescent of sand flanked by rainforest-covered mountains. It's popular with surfers, but also great for families who want to get away from the hectic crowds on the main beaches. The sand here is soft and white, the waves are blue and big, and there are a few kiosks selling food and drinks.
The best beach I've ever been to in my entire life. Jumping in the waves brought new life to my soul. Obrigado Deus.
Jake Edwards — Google review
The beach itself is amazing, beautiful it blends the city with nature, just by turning around a corner.. Great options to eat seafood based meals and an amazing spot for surfing. Which makes it not so welcoming to swimmers, cause there usually are a lots of waves. Phone reception over there is really bad, so getting an uber to leave the place might be an ordeal, i'd recommend a car, a bycicle or accept the fact that you might have to walk back part of the way before u can get Internet again (but there is a chance that u'll get internet over there).

The Curupira Recreio dos Bandeirantes beach is a stunning getaway located in the Atlantic Forest reserve. The peaceful and serene beach is perfect for a day of relaxation with views of Pontal peninsula. There are several snack bars and restaurants nearby that offer great views of the ocean.
