A peaceful place far from common international tourist routes, the last city on the north coast of Sao Paulo - Brazil, home to a state park, Ubatuba is one of the few places that still manages to preserve its nature.
Right here there is the 85% of the "Mata Atlantica", a mountainous forest that stretches for 500 km in with and 1 km in height, filled with lush native vegetation, waterfalls, rivers, and many species threatened with extinction.
The town of Ubatuba has a heritage of more than 100 beaches which can satisfy any preference. Some of them are accessible only by step or by boat, others are characterized by strong waves and others are lapped by calm and clear waters.
Considered one of the best place in Brazil to surf, Ubatuba also offers a variety of water activities like diving, fishing, rafting and the practice of adventure sports like climbing, trekking and bike. Other excursions like walking in the middle of the Atlantic Forest to discover waterfalls, natural beauty and bird watching are appreciated by young and old. With a so privileged coast Ubatuba offer an abundant variety of tropical specialties to its visitors.
The local culinary has its specialties, like fish cooked with coconut milk and "farofa" (manioc flour), "assai" ice-cream and much more that you can taste in the various restaurants of the town. All the dishes can be accompanied by the traditional caipirinha (with lemon) or with the innovative flavors such as "caipirinha caju" (tropical fruit) with orange slice and "gengibre" (root widely used in oriental cooking), pineapple with mint and the new one with grapes and basil.
Starting from here you can access to other areas of the coast, one of the most beautiful in Brazil: the historic city of Paraty, the exuberant Ilha Bela (beautiful island), the Picinguaba untouched beach, the alternative city of Trindade and continuing toward the Rio-Santos road, you can reach the Angra dos Reis archipelago and the city of Rio de Janeiro.
