What To Expect

Crevice of Our Lady of Assumption

Located at one end of Cabo Frio Island, although belonging to Arraial do Cabo, the Fenda da Nossa Senhora Aparecida is a rock formation that appears to have been cut like a slice of the island's cake. The story goes that in 1721 a fisherman found a statue of Our Lady of Aparecida there, beginning a journey that took her in procession to the Church of Our Lady of Assunção, in Cabo Frio, where she was solemnly enthroned. This episode is narrated in the book "O outro Cabo Frio" by Luiz Carlos da Cunha, although many consider its veracity to be a legend. Nowadays, an image of the Saint is present both in the church in Cabo Frio and inside the crevice itself in Arraial do Cabo. The opening is about 5 meters wide by 40 meters high, almost reaching sea level. Before this opening, there is a rocky part exactly where the statue of the Saint is sheltered.

Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia

The staircase that leads to Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia looks like a portal to paradise. From the top of the hill, you can see a truly paradisiacal scene. It's difficult not to be mesmerized by the stunning view: white sands, sea in varying tones and the untouched green of Ilha do Farol in the background. The descent is steep, with many steps, but a photo stop along the way is always welcome. It is essential not to confuse Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia with Prainha near the entrance to the city, nor with Praia do Pontal which extends along the same strip of sand as Praia do Forte, in Cabo Frio. Prainhas are located on Morro do Pontal do Atalaia and get their name due to the formation of two beaches that join together into a single strip of sand when the tide is low. The color of the water varies depending on the time of day, current, sunlight and other factors, transitioning between shades of green and blue.

    It was a very well spent day, everything very well explained before and during the trip, everything very calm and quiet. Mr. Driver Silvio and Guia Mateus thank you very much! We always feel very safe. On the boat De Bem con la Vida also everyone very friendly. Had food and drink if I knew before I didn't have to take so many snacks with me The beautiful nature and meteorology helped the beautiful walk. Got to dive and refresh, I didn't see fish but I saw a turtle in the sea (from the boat) Our guide Matthew always attentive led us to the restaurant Gilda, self service, good food, diverse. Gave to buy souvenirs after lunch. The return trip by night also went well. Thank you all! I recommend!

    Angra dos Reis is a true paradise! The turquoise waters, stunning islands, and peaceful atmosphere made the day magical. Swimming and snorkeling in such clear water was the highlight of my trip.

    I found the company Rio Paseos and Trails on the internet and it was a grateful surprise, I already knew Rio, but this was the first time I took my youngest son and my grandchildren. Being with children, I sought an agency that could help organize our tours. And you from Rio Walks and trails delivered all this and more!!! The tours were amazing, organized, safe... And the service has been excellent since the first "oi" on whatsapp. Exceeded our expectations 🙏🏻 The tour in Arraial do Cabo is beautiful, everything very organized and very lively. The guides are amazing and careful. My family and I loved it. Thank you very much for making our days in Rio even happier
