Wildenio Sousa — Google review
A nice little gem about a small hour driving south from Recife. A nice place to hang out for a day. Enjoy some simple food and take a swim at one of the small but beautiful beaches. Plenty of selfie opportunities up or in between the many rocks next to the beach. A perfect place to just relax or hang out with some friends.
Koenraad Batselier — Google review
It's a small beach with a zip wire and other sport activities. The road is not good to reach there by car. I estimate that the bus stop it's about 20-30 minn walk

(Translated by Google) 1722... Great trail to do by bike or on foot. A lonely place, where the sound that keeps the right rhythm is sure and the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks. It was worth visiting, a truly beautiful place. Beyond the story. And it was built in 1722 (Original) 1722... Ótima trilha pra ser feita de bike ou a pé. Um lugar solitário, onde o som que mantém o ritmo certo com certeza e o som das ondas quebrando nas pedras. Valeu a pena conhece, lugar lindo de verdade. Além da história. E foi construído em 1722

(Translated by Google) Beautiful! I love doing this trail. Tip: go with light clothes and in a group, the path is not difficult but when it rains it gets muddy so be prepared to get dirty with mud but the view and the walk are worth it. (Original) Belíssimo! Eu amo fazer essa trilha. Dica: vá com roupas leves e em grupo, não é difícil o caminho mas quando chove fica com lama então vá preparado pra se sujar de barro mas a vista e o passeio compensa.
Laís Cristina — Google review
(Translated by Google) The trail is incredible! The path is super easy and for those just starting out in the world of hiking, it's a great option, the best time is early in the morning, as most of the trail isn't through trees, it ends up getting a lot of sun, the location is incredible, it looks like a movie and it's great for good photos. (Original) A trilha é incrível! Super fácil o caminho e pra quem está iniciando no mundo da trilha é uma ótima opção, melhor horário é pela manhã cedo, pois como boa parte da trilha não é por meio de árvores, acaba pegando bastante sol, o local é incrível, parece filme e é ótimo para boas fotos.

We drove an hour to see this and it was not a dissapointment. It was very odd that we couldn't see everything on the property, but there were some police there who had closed the interiors of the buildings. I would've liked to see that, but it had nothing to do with the owners preventing people from seeing it. The tour guide who took us around was very knowledgeable and was able to answer all of put questions.

It's a nice theater. Seats and bathrooms are ok. There is a small snack bar inside, and you can park on the street in front of the theater. There will be some guys to assist you parking and they "charge" you R$ 20 (which you're not required to give - I usually give R$ 10 since they watch the car the whole duration of the play)
