Stops may vary according to weather conditions and the number of people in each place. The captain chooses the best and less crowded areas to have a good time.

It's like a small village, well worth seeing! The drive is a bit long but definitely worth it and the beach is great as well. You definitely get that holiday feeling there!

Very good times spent during this excursion masterfully led by the guide, I will do the excursion again with joy

A very good organization on the part of the guide. In any case, I thank him because it is a very difficult job.

I was able to enter smoothly and go to see the whole building, so it was very good!

Very lively trip. With good music and caipirinhas.
