About this experience

About 170 km away from the - Zona Sul - of Rio, I want to guide you to discover Arraial do Cabo. The town is located in the - Lake Region - and is known as - the Caribbean of Brazil - for the crystal clear waters of its sea. It recently saw its Pontal beach in Atalaia awarded as one of the most beautiful in the world. To demonstrate this, I limit myself to quoting the comment that Amerigo Vespucci wrote when he arrived in this region: "if an earthly paradise exists in the world, it must undoubtedly not be very far from these places".
I propose a fantastic boat tour during which we will stop to get to know the best points of this paradise, which you really can't miss when coming on holiday to Rio de Janeiro!
Attention: the transfer from Rio de Janeiro to Arraial do Cabo will be made by private car, while the boat tour is shared with other tourists. The boat has a capacity of approximately 100 people and is equipped with toilets and a bar with a small restaurant service.
