- CharlesBreda, The Netherlands175 contributionsNice place to visit. Must see when going to Brazil. Charming, historical centre does not have cars etc, just pedestrians. Also, comparing it to other places, very safe!!Written September 23, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thaisa SchröederRio de Janeiro, RJ56 contributionsIncredible experience! We are from Rio de Janeiro, come to Paraty for our honeymoon. We saw some reviews of Saco so Mamangua and knew we just had to go. First, you must go to Paraty Mirim by car, it’s a bumpy drive and best if on 4x4 wheels. The road signs and pretty clear and there is really nowhere else to go but the main road. Once at the very end, there are a few places to park your car at about R$20 until 18h. There plenty of captains and boats to chose from, but we most definitely recommend Mateus! He is a young captain, born in one of the islands just off the coast, very experienced and knows every corner of the place. Respectful of our time and would let us very comfortable to enjoy each spot on our own time. All the captains charge the same price because they work together as a very tight community. We paid 800 just the two of us, visited every spot of the Mamangua area, stopped for swimming and jumping rocks, had lunch at Restaurante do Dadico - very fresh fish. Also did an hour hike to Pico Pão de Açúcar, Mateus leaves right at the beach where the trail begins and then will be waiting once your back. Totally worth it!Written May 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- J SLondon7 contributionsWe travelled here with a guide who made me feel a bit more confident sliding down the waterfall into the unknown. At the end you hit the water in a slightly chaotic way but it seemed pretty safe.Written January 15, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thaisa SchröederRio de Janeiro, RJ56 contributionsVery pretty beach! Lovely walk! Farily easy to get to. Car drive to Trindade, fairly good roads. You leave your car at the farthest beach point, there is parking for about R$20 the whole day. You walk by Praia do Meio, do a very little and light hike to Praia do Caixa d’Aço.Written May 11, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Livia ChauarMilan, Italy152 contributionsI loved this place, it is very chill, comfy, and quiet. It is mostly people who are very laid back, there is no phone signal there, and the internet connection is not one of the best. This is a place for you to lay back and enjoy life as it comes to you. Many camping areas, some chalés, and places to eat. If you are looking for things to do, maybe this beach is not for you. If you want to relax with nature around you, this is the place!Written January 9, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kaitlin BarwickAustralia30 contributionsYou can travel from the first beach along through four beaches, Lula beach being one of them. I thought this one was the most beautifful beach of all of them, nice waves and sand. Very blue water. We even spotted turtles when we were there climbing around the rocks.Written January 24, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Ben M1 contributionThe drinks are incredible, and Gi was an amazing host! When he found out we spoke English, he was thrilled to give us a tour and gave a very fun explanation of all the varieties of cachasa Engenho Douro produces. Definitely go if you get the chance!Written June 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Adrian1993176 contributionsCristal clear waters and sandy beach - perfect place to spend the day doing SUP, tanning or swimming!

- JensitolinoLeeds26 contributionsThe views from the top are magnificent and are worth the steep hike up to the top.
To get to the start of this hike you can take a boat from Paraty Mirim for 250 reais (return) which takes approx. 20 minutes each way. Make sure you got plenty of water with you as you will need it. The walk to the top will take you between 60 and 90 minutes depending on your fitness. It's best to wear proper shoes for this hike. I wouldn't do this walk after it has rained as it would make it very difficult to not slip. You can't really go wrong on your way up as the path is narrow but easy to follow. You walk in shade 90% of the time but there may not be a single breeze until you reach the very top. It's worth the sweat once you stand on the top and look down.Written March 27, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Charlotte KNew York City, NY234 contributionsThis is the main beach near where the bus from Paraty to Trindad will have its last stop. This is also where you can hire a boat to the natural pool area nearby. The sea is too rough for swimming and there was no life guard. I think it is a beautiful beach to just sit and enjoy some rays and breeze. You can climb up some of the large boulders to get a nice view of the sea.Written September 30, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dee HayesRichmond, VA10 contributionsParaty, is like a hidden place in the middle of nowhere is so far from everywhere. Like 4-5 hours from RIo, 2-3 hours from Sao Paolo. But once you get there you do not feel any desire to leave. The beauty of the mountains, beaches, waterfalls, ecosystem is unbelievable. What a nature, colors, food, people…Written October 12, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
