A must-do when in São Paulo - Breathtaking views on the way to the beach and back! Great options to see the Rainforest, stop at a little Fort (or not if you want more beach time), enjoy a fast ride with a small boat (or walk through the rainforest to get to the beach). The absolute perfect guides!! This was our third tour with GregTur and Danilo was very kind, so well prepared, very knowledgeable and pleasant to be around! The beach is beautiful! Clean. Not crowded. It looks like it’s straight from the movies! We wouldn’t have wanted to miss this tour. Very well organized and a great chance to enjoy typical Brazilian food for lunch in this pretty scenery.
