The Escadaria Selarón is a colorful public stairway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil decorated with hand-painted tiles by the Chilean-born artist Jorge Selaron. The stairs became a landmark in the city and are popular among tourists for their photo opportunities.
These beautiful stairs are a must see. They are the work of Chilean artist Jorge Selarón, who made them as a way to show his love to the city. The stairs are made from thousands of pieces of ceramics which were collected or donated, and some even painted by the artist. The area was very safe with many police present, but I would caution against walking too far from the area, as some of the surrounding area is not very safe for tourists. But the immediate area is full of amazing restaurants and souvenir shops, some of which have very unique items.
Pedram Esm — Google review
Beautiful! Just make sure you walk up otherwise you won't see anyrhing. Friendly street cats, drinks and caiparinhas available.
Tourist shops at the bottom and if you get to the top you can continue up to Santa Teresa which is lovely.
Plenty of people talking photos, keep a wary eye of your surroundings but you should be fine because of how busy it is.
Alex C — Google review
We were there at about lunchtime. The weather was extremely hot, and there were a lot of people in the different stages of these steps. However, it is a place that should be visited. There are a lot of incredible tiles on it. And it's worth it to take some time to look for the different ones that are pretty interesting. Also, there's a little bit of shopping opportunity there with art pieces being in offer!
Noelle Marozeau — Google review
What a unique site! The amount of time and effort that went into creating this ever changing work of art is amazing. I found tiles from all over the world, and people for just as many countries visiting to see this site! Do not miss this!
Glen Wilcott — Google review
Wonderful sightseeing spot! Very creative and colorful. For me one of the most important stops when in Rio de Janeiro 😊
Most of the countries have its own tile with creative design/s.
Sometimes very crowded, but that’s no big surprise.
Also a nice spot to buy some souvenirs from the vendors on the street or enjoying a cold drink in one of the numberless bars next to it.
And maybe you see some small monkeys jumping around 🐒
Bir Git — Google review
Super cool. You could spend all day looking at the different tiles and delighting in the details and imagery. But also a quick stroll up and down the stairs yields a worthy time commitment. Definitely worth checking out!
Byron Weckworth — Google review
It's cool, everyone goes here to do the touristy thing. I think it is average. Other places that I'd recommend to visit before coming here are Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, Copacapana Beach, Ipanema Beach, Museu do Amanhã.

This is one of the newer spots that tourists have learned to love. Beautiful and colorful! I bought here the most overpriced, watered-down Caipirinha I had in Brazil - but it was totally worth it, it's all part of the experience. It gets pretty crowded, so keep your stuff close!
Iván Montejo-Martínez — Google review
Cool place to take colorful pics.
It will be a very short visit since to go all the way up won’t take more than 20 min.
Is better to go with day light, otherwise the pics are not so great with the street lights.
An small negative point might be that the surrounding streets don’t feel very safe at night, specially if you’re on your own.
Ana Dz — Google review
An important part of Rio de Janeiro. It must be seen, although it is very busy, many people stop by to take photos. Here you can have a caipirinha at 5 pesos, or to buy handcrafted jewelry. Be careful at your pockets because many people here don't come to see the stairs 😟.
Overall it is an experience that you must try when in Rio de Janeiro.
Marius Telișcă — Google review
Some friends and I took a taxi here it was a Sunday afternoon. I felt perfectly safe walking the stairs lots of activity and lots of people.
All in all I would recommend it just to do it but you're going to be done with the stairs and 20 minutes tops and if you want there's a few restaurants there as well as vendors with souvenirs.
Steve Dempsey — Google review
Very beautiful. As someone from Rio, I went there the first time to show my girlfriend who is not from here. And I got very surprised. I should have gone before. It is very interesting. We really enjoyed seeing all the different tiles and it gets very pretty all the colors in the stair. I would recommend everyone to visit.
Bernardo Engelke — Google review
Loved this place and the art. Featured in Snoopdog's music video Beautiful. Steps are made up of tiles from different countries across the globe. I could spot few from India 🇮🇳.
Tips:
Try to visit at night as you will see the real beauty of this place and also less crowd to bother you for pics 📸.
Please 🙏 Like if you find this helpful.

Social media photography and videos spot. It is a beautiful art work. That’s all you can do. Be patient. There’s a lot of people going up and down. We even offered help to take pictures to other tourists and locals. There’s a lot of steps to go up, which I did to meet my steps goals in my exercise app. The area is ok, it isn’t the safest place in the area. But you go and take your pictures and then you keep going.
BiVi — Google review
The work that went into decorating these steps is amazing. I could spend a lot of time looking at all the tiles and mosaics.
This is a great place to take photos and to sit and relax or chill with friends.
It is a lively area in the evening.
No matter the time of day, there will be other people, and they will be in the background of your photos.
There is also cool street art around the corner.
Kitty — Google review
Absolutely beautiful to see and explore. The staircase goes up quite a while so there is plenty to see in the art. Word of advice is to go early before it gets hot and crowded. There are a lot of people seeing a photo opportunity and it is hard to actually look at and appreciate the art of the staircase once it gets busy.
Eden Theron — Google review
If you already booked a your for one day in Rio, do not worry, they will bring you there!
This escaderia is over 200+ stairs and you can take lots of pictures with beautiful backgrounds. There is a common photo you'd like to take, but there is usually a long queue (at the beginning), my recommendation is to go up and you'll find better spots for pictures
David Robles — Google review
Amazing space and art in the heart of Rio. We went on a Saturday night when it was pouring rain so we’re basically alone. Great spot to spend a bit of time. Tons of hip bars nearby, check them out for a cheap drink after.
Taylor Diem — Google review
Busy, touristy, bustling with charm, smiles and atmosphere you simply couldn’t find elsewhere.
Hold on to your bags and valuables. We were warned about pickpockets. I didn’t see any, but I can imagine with it being so busy, it’s a prime spot. Common sense should be used.
Would I go again? Absolutely I would. My son needs another pair of £9 raybans, and while he’s buying them, I can admire the beautiful street art that I’ve never been able to find better anywhere
Amanda Wilson — Google review
2023 Nov. I had the best visit here. My pictures speak volumes. I was fortunate enough not to have many people around in this busy tourist spot of town. Great weather and time here. Any island I got to locals, to me are always welcoming.
When I visited Escadaria Selarón I was amazed by the beauty and creativity of this place. The stairs are decorated with thousands of colorful tiles from different countries, creating a stunning mosaic that reflects the diversity and vibrancy of Brazil. The artist, Jorge Selarón, was a Chilean who dedicated his life to this project as a tribute to the Brazilian people. He transformed a simple staircase into a masterpiece of urban art and such beauty.
The drinks and food on the way to the top were cheaper than downstairs.
I love the Rio de Janeiro sign, The view from the top was breathtaking and I felt like I was part of a living painting.
Escadaria Selarón is a must-see attraction in Rio de Janeiro. It is not just a staircase, but a symbol of passion, culture, and creativity. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves art and wants to experience the true spirit of Rio.
Spiral Tote — Google review
Overcrowded with a long line at the bottom just to take pics. Walking on toward the top is no better. Enjoy the paintings, don’t worry about trying to a good pic. Also on the bottom there’re a few streets with gangs of people that tourist should avoid walking in. Stick to the Main Street leading up to the steps and be aware of surroundings. This is a very unsafe area as I was almost mugged if without my fighting skills.
Jay L — Google review
Nice piece of art of Rio the Janeiro city that you should visit during your trip because is a nice spot to take a photo, but don't expect something really amazing.
I would recommend visit in the morning when it quiter, during the day is full of tourist taking selfies in every spot and at night can be a dangerous area.
SupereFix — Google review
I loved it because it feels different and special. It’s free to visit!
I was amazed by how many people are there during the day. The area of Lapa is supposed to be a little dangerous but I found it perfectly nice and I spent the afternoon and early evening hanging out in a bar close by.
Andy Newbold — Google review
I recommend going early in the morning so it isn't to crowded. Also if you climb the stairs to the top there usually are less tourist there and you can get better photos
Jose Gonzalez — Google review
Must do on your visit to Rio. Gets crowded, but people wait for you to take your photo. Drink stands and 1 restaurant at the bottom of the steps. Lots of nice souvenirs shops

R. Manuel Carneiro - Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro - RJ, 20241-120, Brazil
The Contemporary Art Museum in Niterói, Brazil is a stunning building made completely of concrete and steel that sits atop an elegant pedestal in the bay. The museum often hosts international fashion shows and other cultural events, making it a popular destination for tourists.
The magnificent Oscar Neumere building, built in 1996. Entrance to the museum is paid, the bag must be put in the locker, there is a toilet and water fountain. The exhibition is small. If you go down the stairs, there you will find a restaurant.
Polina List — Google review
Went on a day when there was literally no exhibition. As in, nothing, not a single painting in the entire museum. I don't understand. Why wasn't this on the website? Don't know.
The views inside are cool.
Anyway, truly magnificent building on the outside and it sits perfectly in the landscape of niteroi. Incredibly futuristic and yet close to nature.
Daniel — Google review
As a building, it is stunning and iconic, quite unique. But get a little closer, and you start seeing the failed promise of modernist architecture. Impossible to maintain, quick to show its age, and dependent on highly qualified workers, which this project clearly lacked. Watch your step when climbing the stairs from the 2nd to the 3rd floor, there is such a height difference between them! The art collection on show is forgettable at best, and the filthy grey carpet and unbalanced lighting in the galleries are not flattering to any pieces. Best to appreciate from a distance.
Simon D — Google review
Small museum worth the trip for the architecture, but not the art. Not much display space, and what was on view was second tier modern art (and I like modern art!). I found the architecture much more engaging than the pieces within.
Supreme Ruler Of The Universe — Google review
The architecture is SPECTACULAR.. an iconic building that deserves the accolades it so richly deserves.
Unfortunately upon my visit the exhibition was not ready for viewing which was a shame.. however there were some pieces of modern art on show that were interesting.
The views of Rio from inside the building are nothing short of amazing with a 270 degree vista of the bay and surrounding areas.
Well worth the visit..

Simon W Clark Author — Google review
One of the most stunning architectural places I’ve ever seen. The backdrop of the Rio de Janeiro beach and mountains is unbelievable. The actual museum is small, with only two exhibitions, but it was thoughtfully curated. The bistro on the bottom floor was an absolute must—and included a beautiful view. It was one of the best restaurant food I’ve had during my stay, as well. Go to this place. It’s incredible.
Andre Bohrer — Google review
Did not have the time to enter but I know it was cheap and reasonable as a fee (I think 20 reals). There was around 8 paintings available outside for free. You can take pictures from the beach, where you enter and underneath it (see pics). Lovely neighborhood and I felt safe! Spend some time at the beach. The cave below is only 3 - 5 meters. Not too fancy!
Antoine Assaad — Google review
Amazing! But I think It is worth less pay the entry! Outside is better than inside!!! Trust me!
Diego Salgado — Google review
Have to pay, not much but considering there's not much to see inside and you have to check your bag into a small locker it's a tad annoying. The outside is absolutely incredible. Get a chance to cross the bridge and see a little different angle of Rio. Couple this with the beach and view points to make a half day out of this area.
john d Lin — Google review
The museum of contemporary art was a disappointment. The building designed by Oscar Niemeyer is quite eye-catching with its futuristic shape and idyllic locale overlooking the bay. What was disappointing was the poor use of the space for showing contemporary art, of which there are vast examples throughout Brazil. Inside the building was a curtain-covered interior filled with very little art, and I still don’t fully understand why.
There was a free-standing art exhibit outside the museum. On the inside, there were six contemporary art pieces in a space that could have housed so much more.
That said, the site is breathtaking, and hopefully, the art selection will improve, so do not take this off your list of things to see in Brazil.

Visiting Cervejaria Itaipava - Petropolis Boutique was a fascinating experience as we had the opportunity to witness firsthand the production process of beer. The tour provided clear and concise explanations for each step, creating an enjoyable and relaxed atmosphere. The company's well-prepared guide enhanced our visit, making it truly remarkable. We extend our congratulations to Cervejaria Itaipava for their exceptional brewery and top-quality service.

Itacotiara is a beach surrounded by pristine nature and mountains, located half an hour by car (or an hour by bus) from the center of Niteroi, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro.
Fans of water sports love to gather here and international surfing competitions are often held.
It’s better to take food and beach accessories with you – there aren’t many shops on the beach, especially compared to Rio
Lonely Wolf — Google review
Best one in the area, no beach in Rio comes close to this one, as a bonus you can also climb the "Costão" rock before going to the beach (30 min climb very easy). The only downside is that eventually the waves are very strong and can be kinda dangerous if you're not used to.

Serra dos Órgãos National Park is a vast nature reserve located about 6km south of Teresopolis, Brazil. The park offers an extensive network of hiking routes, breathtaking mountain scenery, numerous waterfalls and natural swimming pools. It is also home to over 400 bird species, making it a paradise for birdwatchers. The park's lower section provides visitors with tamer walking trails, tended lawns and gardens perfect for picnics.
One of the most amazing National Parks in Brazil. Petrópolis - Teresópolis trail is a must. Among other attractions are "Dedo de Deus", waterfalls and breathtaking viewpoints.

Gabriel Garcia — Google review
I hiked from Petropolis to Teresopolis and it was one of the most technically difficult hikes I've done. There is this one part called the "little horse" where the only way to continue is to take your backpack off, grab the rock, swing your leg over the rock, and use your momentum to hoist your body on and over this large rock. Did I mention that this all takes place on cliff where if you fall you die? Yep!
It was worth it and so incredibly beautiful but the trail is no joke! Doable if you do it in 2-3 days (carrying your camping gear) but a lot of altitude! I have hiked 36km/day in the snow, and found this hike to be a challenge physically and mentally.

Located near the entrance of Teresopolis, Mirante do Soberbo offers an incredible view of the iconic Dedo de Deus peak in the Serra dos Orgaos National Park. Visitors can easily park and enjoy the breathtaking scenery, with vendors offering snacks and water. Whether it's sunrise or any time during the day, this spot provides a spectacular sightseeing experience for families despite its small parking area and occasional windy conditions.
What a incredible place. Unfortunately, the day was as clear as I was expecting, but that's OK. The view is spectacular and it's really breathtaking. There's a parking lot and some vendors where you can buy some snacks and water.

The Jardim do Nego in Campo do Coelho, Nova Friburgo, is a unique attraction known for its colossal clay sculptures adorned with moss. The garden, crafted by artist Geraldo Simplicio (aka Nego), showcases his 30-year hermitage in the area. Inspired by the natural landscape, Nego utilizes moss to create an otherworldly yet grounded ambiance for each sculpture.
Beautiful and very interesting , hard work of my friend NEGO , and his meditation process for life .
KESHAV ANANDA DHARMA — Google review
Gigantic clay sculptures covered in moss make Jardim do Nêgo in Campo do Coelho, a district of Nova Friburgo, a special place to visit. The unusual garden was created by artist Geraldo Simplício—a.k.a “Nêgo”—who lived as a hermit in the place for over 30 years.
Nêgo uses the landscape’s natural formations as the inspiration and foundation for his work. He covers the clay with moss, giving each sculpture an otherworldy yet earthy vibe.
The garden is a small, peaceful spot packed with larger-than-life works of art. There are currently 17 sculptures scattered throughout the place. Nêgo himself is typically present to greet visitors and chat about his work.

The Paróquia Nossa Senhora de Nazareth, a charming church situated on a hill with stunning surroundings and beautiful beaches nearby, offers ample opportunities for capturing delightful photographs. The picturesque view from the top is truly breathtaking. In addition to the captivating scenery, one can also explore the nearby cemetery and witness fishing boats dotting the sea. Unfortunately, during our visit, the church itself was closed. Nonetheless, this Catholic church remains an exquisite sight worth experiencing in this lovely city.

Praça Nossa Sra. de Nazaré, 42 - Centro, Saquarema - RJ, 28990-000, Brazil
Praia de Itaúna, located approximately 3km east of Saquarema, is a stunning sandy beach renowned for its excellent surfing conditions. The site of national and international surfing competitions between May and October each year, it is considered one of the best surf spots in Brazil. The beach also boasts a beautiful church overlooking the coastline. While the area can be tranquil at times, caution should be exercised while bathing due to strong waves.
Fabulous golden sand but no place to swim..the waves are for confident surfers! Great to watch them!

Itaúna, Saquarema - State of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The Nova Friburgo Country Club is a picturesque location that offers more than just a golf course. It is an ideal spot for families to enjoy the beauty of nature and also serves as a venue for various events throughout the year. Although it would make an excellent setting for a golf course, it appears that Brazilians are not familiar with this sport. The club boasts stunning surroundings where visitors can appreciate the local wildlife such as ducks, geese, and fish.

Mercado Poço Feio is a local grocery store conveniently situated near the breathtaking Poco Feio Waterfall. It offers a wide range of essential goods, ensuring that customers can find all their basic necessities. Although prices may be slightly higher than average, the market maintains proper organization and provides excellent customer service. Visitors are recommended to explore this well-maintained establishment, which caters to the needs of nature lovers in the area.
(Translated by Google) For a small market, the variety of goods is quite good. The service also leaves nothing to be desired. I found products that I couldn't find elsewhere and all of great quality. I think the treatment that employees receive from the company is very important, as it will reflect the establishment. I hope the market prospers, along with the employees, because then the customer will win.

Para um mercado pequeno, a variedade de mercadorias é bem boa. O atendimento também não deixa a desejar. Encontrei produtos que não achava em outros lugares e todos de ótima qualidade.

Espero que o mercado prospere, juntamente com os funcionários, pois aí sim, quem irá sair ganhando será o freguês.

Celebrated for it beauty, this white sandy beach has calm, clear water ideal for swimming & diving
No need to talk about how beautiful this place is. My advice is: avoid going there on weekends and holidays (your experience will be considerably better if the beach isn't overcrowded), and don't go there by your own means. Get a private tour, preferably by boat (there are loads of them departing from praia dos anjos). It can be quite complicated to reach the beach through land, as you'd either have to walk for a long time, or you'd have to get there extremely early (before 7am on weekends) if you're planning on parking your car on the road above the beach. If you really want to avoid boats, get a car taxi there and back by the entrance to the road to the beach.
Gabriel Mello — Google review
The place is beautiful, and the sea is cold, it is worth the visit.
But, take care. It is extremely expensive. R$15 a taxi to go up R$15 to go back, they block the street, Uber is not allowed.
If you are going to eat at the beach, ask before, everything is insanely expensive. You are not going to pay less than R$150 for something to eat.
Go early, around midday it gets crowded.

Beautiful and preserved place. Lots of nature, clear (and cold) water, and white sand.
The hills surrounding this beach are covered in dense forest making this a peaceful getaway.
You can walk or take the boat taxi to that beach. Boat taxi is 12 reals but it is only a 20 min walk to this beach. People bring food and lots of drinks and hence the benefits of the boat taxi. I went by boat and walked to the mirador then to little beach using the trails. It is worth it.

One of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. You have to take a short 10 minute hike to get to the beach, but even the hike is super beautiful. The view from the top of the hill is definitely a must see. At the beach, there are lots of vendors offering chairs and umbrellas. Some are for free, as long as you order food or drinks from the location, others are paid, but they offer you credit towards their food menu. The waters are crystal clear and great for swimming.

GORGEOUS BEACH ! One of the moat beautiful beaches we've EVER seen! The hike to the beach is about 15minutes by foot, a little challenging but the view from the top of both beaches and then the infectious joy and excitement you get from being in paradise makes it worthwhile.
Lots of food and drink vendors on beach and in our case umbrella and chairs were free of charge if you buy a meal.
If you're a snorkeler, dont forget it! There's tons of fishes in the water near the rocks, we even saw 7 turtles within two days.

The water was very good and warm (August) but the access is a bit dangerous.
Be ready for local people approaching you to charge you for your parking and offer all kind of adventures.
Local police and guards to protect your way to the beach.

Very nice beach, but can get very busy in high season. The boats bringing the people of nearby Cabo Frio to the beach can become a nuisance as they blare their music and it disturbs the peace and quiet. The water is crystal clear, and a sight to behold. There are some walking trails, but you are advised to go in a large group as it might not be save alone
Accessible only by water taxi or tour boat, this famous beach features clear water & white sand.
This beautiful beach is only accessible by boat, and is near a Brazil navy site, so you're limited to only 40 minutes on the beach and you can't bring much with you on the beach. But all of that helps keep the beach very clean and less busy. The waters here are crystal clear. You can see the sand below you even when you're deep in the water.
Pedram Esm — Google review

Geriba Beach is a widely popular destination for beach and water sports enthusiasts, boasting a long and spacious sandy stretch. This spot is particularly favored by the younger crowd and offers ample opportunities for surfing, bodyboarding, windsurfing, stand-up paddle boarding, and foot-volley. There are also plenty of facilities such as umbrellas, bars, restaurants, pizzerias to cater to the visitors' needs.
Very nice beach.
Parking might be an issue, but there's some coffee shops for food and drinks. The sand is clean and golden, the sea water is a bit wavy, but very small waves, makes it very fun and appealing, the water was warm. The view is amazing. To return

If you are going to visit Buzios, this is the beach I recommend staying at, particularly if you rent a house (which is what we did). The surf can be a bit rough for very small kids, but some of the best waves for surfing/boogie boarding I have seen anywhere in the Atlantic Ocean. The beach itself is reasonably wide and not overly crowded. There are bars at one end for food.
John Lee — Google review
If you come to Búzios, this is one of the beaches you might want to visit. It is long, windy and has fine hot sand, where hurrying your feet feels nice. There is a serving shack, somewhat expensive but buying a couple beers will grant you access to the beach chairs and umbrellas.
Dr. Naz — Google review
wide beach plenty of space that allows to play ball, racket, etc.. without bothering anyone... it has different areas with stronger waves with some light surf combined with other areas more quiet where kids can play safely...
the free space also allows to avoid the umbrella rent, something very difficult in other beach here at buzios. prices are lower too and since it bigger it has a very good variety for food and snacks...
the nad part of the story... in theory Brazil laws prohibit to be charged for umbrella but this is something not being checked, therefore people at the beach charges what they want, even for undefined services or for using the umbrella and not consuming a minimum amount
Tomas Javier Garcia — Google review
Really nice place. Good for people that enjoy playing in the waves, but in the safety of the shallow ocean at the same time. Also you can easily swim further than the waves breaking and enjoy a calmer area. It can be quite windy. Large sand strand, really good to practice sports. Beautiful sunset can be watched there. And it is kinda cute how the beach is "hidden" with the little alley entrances. The only problem I experienced was people burying (very badly, IF they do it) the poop of their dogs. Definately not a place to let your kid dig up the sand and build castles with it...

Geriba Beach is one of those places that leave you in awe before the blessed, magnificent natural beauty. If you want to savor a state of amazement, go there.
Tartaruga Beach is a lively and inviting sandy beach that is perfect for families. It provides an excellent opportunity for snorkeling, kayaking, and paddling in the calm waters that are typically warmer than other areas due to their location away from Antarctica's cold currents. The right corner of the beach boasts magnificent cliffs ideal for snorkeling to explore. There are kiosks along the stretch of sand serving food and drinks prepared by German, English, and Argentine chefs.
We walk there what a great hike took the water taxi back loaded Beach with a great bar

Hello guys.This is our marvelous Praia da Tartaruga.A wonderfull and small beach down there,you come from a dirt road and she is all colored of the sea,cool water blue with a few green.It´s delicious and cool water.Just be carefull about the reefs.It´s in the very small tide and depth,are a lot,if you risk your hurt and feet maybe you get traped with a lot of hurt and pain in your feets.
Later Pedras got crowded and the kids started hanging in here also,later after the sunset.Is good option for hanging,far,abroad with different people and prices.It´s cool.
You can take on day in here,full.It´s expensive ,of course,feed yourself at home and bring cold beverages.
The dirt road is lovely,starts at about Mandragora hotel and stay,to the left at the center street,about two miles walking in this dirt road by my time.
The you can catch a boat,a big boat with fares,ride for many beaches,arrive in different beaches which they always stay a few time for you to swim and meet the beach.
These big boats and rides are very cool, loose your time.They pass and visit about ten beaches with a single fare.
They don´t ride very far from the coast,are only tourists like us,more interested in knowing beaches and riding the boat mostly.
There are the options of small boats and cabs lately.If you are hurried or just transportation you can pay the fare to small boats and cabs.
Tartaruga has about two miles of coast,sand and sea.You can walk till the end and come back to the spot of restaurants and kiosques.
It is safe to swim,is just like a gulf or bay,no tide or waves.The water is calm and huge spot to stay in the low tide and depth and if you want to risk it you can swim a lot and safe in Praia da Tartaruga.
Good sunny day!

It's a very quite beach waveless. It's like a pool, but the water wasn't as clean as I expected. Maybe it is because the water is so calm that the water doesn't renew so much. Maybe it was the day we visited it. I don't know, but I didn't like it very much.
The only thing I could highlight is that the water is very warm, but again, it is because it doesn't move so much.
The bathrooms are chemical and are very very VERY messy and disgusting 🤢 that I would rather go to mother nature to do my things, really.
Prices are a little less expensive than in Joao Fernández.

The Ferradurinha Beach is a tranquil cove with clear blue waters and fine white sand. It's perfect for swimming, sunbathing, and kayaking, as well as renting SUPs or bikes to explore the surrounding area. This place is known for its adventures such as diving and kayaking, but it's also beautiful enough to just relax on the beach.
This is my favorite beach here in Búzios.. it's just surreal💙

Hello visitors.I have an apartment in Geribá,in the farthest road and side of this beach.I used to come here evryday after and between my daily beach in Geribá.It is a lovely beach,hardly found.Perfect for snorkel and free dive.About one Km of rocks and gulf where I never risked off and after this gulf.It´s marvelous,you just use your glass mask and snorkel and ride deep with the ocean,checking long reefs and different nature.
You can dive and snorkel here for two or three hours easily,everyday.When I didn´t snorkel and dive I used to swim to the other side at that small beach and just hang and wait my body asks more swimming and coming back.
This is a place where you can also hang and ride through the rocks.At left you can reach the small beach across and at right you can walk a few and see opened and tide.
The way from Geribá is great,passing fisherman and barren roads.And also the biggest and richer house just above the sand and sea level.
It´s short,no way to practice sports in here.Maybe rackets and rubber balls do very fine,swimming and diving.
The water is marvelous ,deep is short and you can go very far and wide with your kids and deep.
Today is crowded,I know it.I grabed the best èpoque.

(Translated by Google) Nice atmosphere, good service and has several tasty options. At the place, we ordered 2 sandwiches, which were very filling and very tasty (Cavaleiros and Pedrinhas) and we also ordered a slice of Pistachio cake. We like the prices, it's worth it.
We've ordered cakes from them a few times and we love them, especially the Red Velvet, which is the best we've ever had (it's a shame they're not producing it for now, I hope it comes back!).
What I found to be a negative point is that now, to place orders, we have to go to the store in person or pay a fee for the motorcycle courier to bring the machine. Before, we paid half the price per pix and the rest upon collection, but they informed us that due to scams, they are no longer accepting pix, in short, I almost gave up buying there because I didn't have time to go to the store. I hope you review this issue.

Ambiente legal, bom atendimento e possui várias opções saborosas. No local, pedimos 2 sanduíches, que vieram bem recheados e bem gostosos (Cavaleiros e Pedrinhas) e também pedimos a fatia do bolo de Pistache. Gostamos dos preços, vale a pena.
Já encomendamos bolos algumas vezes com eles e adoramos, em especial o Red Velvet, que é o melhor que já comemos (pena que por enquanto não estão produzindo, espero que volte!).
O que achei de ponto negativo é que agora, para fazer encomendas, temos que ir pessoalmente à loja ou então pagar taxa para o motoboy trazer a máquina. Antes pagávamos a metade do valor por pix e o restante na retirada, mas informaram que por conta de golpes, não estão mais aceitando pix, enfim, quase que eu desistia de comprar lá por não ter tempo de ir até a loja. Espero que revejam essa questão.

(Translated by Google) The best bakery and grocery store in the region, right in the heart of Praia dos Caveliros! It has a wide range of products to save that purchase for home, and even better are the continuous innovations in sweets and savory snacks, beers at an unmatched price for the region and much more in a cozy and welcoming place. I recommend the visit!

Recomendo a visita!

(Translated by Google) A very good option for snacks and breakfast. Attractive prices when compared to the quality of the dishes. Try Cavaleiros Beach, it’s my favorite!

Uma opção muito boa para lanches e café da manhã. Preços convidativos quando comparados com a qualidade dos pratos. Provem o Cavaleiros Beach, é o meu favorito!

(Translated by Google) Excellent cafe, wonderful decor but service is very slow.
The staff lacks more agility in preparing drinks.

Excelente cafeteria, decoração maravilhosa porém o atendimento é lentíssimo.
Falta mais agilidade do pessoal no preparo das bebidas.

(Translated by Google) Very tasty snacks, but basic for the high value, even compared to prices in the region. I ordered a snack of white cheese and turkey breast, tomato and oregano. The taste is great. Impeccable service, I was treated very well.

Lanches muito gostosos, mas básicos para o alto valor, até comparando com os preços da região. Pedi um lanche de queijo branco e peito de peru, tomate e orégano. O sabor é ótimo. Atendimento impecável, fui muito bem tratado.
