4 days hiking and/or diving in Arraial
do Cabo
2½
hrs by car to the east of Rio nestles, between green
mountains and white beaches the former pirate settlement
of Arraial do Cabo.
On route, panoramic views all along the lagoon
of Araruama. With
a population descending from British pirates and local
Indian tribes, the town was founded in 1503 by the
Italian explorer Americo Vespucci. Arraial do Cabo
is a lazy little town and perfect for relax during
low season. However during high season it boast vibrant
tourist activities, because of some of the finest
beaches (and the most beautiful sunset) in all of
Brazil. Instead of five o'clock tea, we enjoy delicious
oysters at a floating bar collected right there, in
front of the guests. Later in the evening, our friend
Guy at St. Tropez Restaurant, has always the best
seafood catch of the day.
