This six hour tour leaves at 11:00 am from Parati
and goes into the beautiful surroundings of the National
Florest of Serra da Bocaina. The first stop is at
the old distillery at Cachaca where you can see the
production of, and sample of traditional Brazilian
spirit, Cachaca.
Afterwards you are driven the 5km to a clear waterfall
- Tobogan - where you may take the opportunity to
slide down the exciting natural "waterslide"
which is formed by a smooth 30m rock face. (At your
own risk!) After this you travel to an old farm at
Murycana and take a twenty minute trek to another
beautiful waterfall - Poço Ingles - set in the best
preserved part of this charming rainforest, literally
a haven for flora and fauna, and then onto another
waterfall, Pedra branca.
Depending on the time we either eat lunch here or
slightly later at the Pereque river at a picturesque
restaurant. The tour returns to Jabaquara beach before
stopping at the four hundred year old fort, and then
returning to Parati. Included in the price are the
admission fee to the farm, binoculars, mineral water
and insect repellent the need should arise!! (Lunch
is not included). All tours are guided by an experienced
guide, with historical and ecological material about
that region.
