Itinerary
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.
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.
Located in Arraial do Cabo, Praia do Forno could not be less than stunning. Its waters mix a tone between blue and green, displaying an exuberance that transports its visitors to another world. From certain angles, its landscape is very reminiscent of the beaches of the Mexican Caribbean, not only because of the incredible color of the waters, but also because of the cacti that emerge among the native vegetation of the Atlantic Forest. The name "Praia do Forno" is an allusion to the heat emanating from all sides - from the sky, the sand and the rocks. However, don't worry! The refreshing waters guarantee relief and provide a well-deserved rest to enjoy the height of the beauty of Rio's coastline.
Praia do Farol, in Arraial do Cabo, is a true untouched paradise. Accessible only by authorized boat, this paradisiacal beach enchants with its crystal clear waters in shades of blue and green, fine white sand, and a peaceful and preserved atmosphere. It is famous for its exuberant natural beauty and proximity to Ilha do Farol, where the lighthouse that gives the place its name is located. Considered one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil, Praia do Farol is an ideal refuge for those seeking tranquility and contemplation amid untouched nature.
The Blue Grotto in Arraial do Cabo is a natural wonder that enchants with its crystal clear waters and intense blue tones. Located on the rocky coast, the cave is only accessible by boat or on specific tours. Upon entering the cave, visitors are welcomed by a spectacle of light and color, where the water reflects the sun's rays and creates a magical atmosphere inside the cave. This natural sanctuary is an unmissable spot for anyone visiting Arraial do Cabo, providing a unique experience of beauty and serenity.
Praia dos Anjos, in Arraial do Cabo, is a place of singular beauty and great historical importance. Praia dos Anjos is where the city's main port is located, from where boats depart for various sea trips around the region. With its calm, crystal-clear waters, it is an ideal spot for diving and snorkeling, allowing visitors to explore the rich local marine life. Furthermore, it offers a stunning view of the sunset over the sea, making it a memorable setting for those looking to relax and enjoy nature in its purest state.

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!

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
Wonderful tour to the Cape Arraial.
