Top Nature in Brazil

I recommend hitting the beach early, around 8 am. It’s way less crowded and you can snag a good spot. Plus, the morning sun feels so nice!

I suggest bringing a beach umbrella or rent one. The sun can be harsh, and trust me, you don’t wanna end up roasted by midday!

My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks. The beach vendors can be pricey and the last thing you want is to spend too much on a coconut!

If you’re into light workouts, the beach pathway is perfect for jogging or walking. It’s a nice way to see the area and burn off those caipirinhas!

Beware of the beach vendors! Some are really pushy, and it can be a bit overwhelming. Just say 'no, obrigado' with a smile if you’re not interested.

If you're into art, don’t miss the Museum of Modern Art in the park. It’s free on Sundays, so plan your visit around that for maximum fun without the cost.

lastly wear comfortable shoes! you’ll be doing a lot of walking and the park is huge. trust me sore feet are not the best souvenir from your trip.

I suggest starting at the opposite side of the park entrance. It’s less crowded, and you can enjoy a more peaceful experience exploring the nature paths.

Check for food trucks near the entrance. The one I tried had amazing local snacks at half the price of the cafes inside! My advice is to plan a picnic instead of eating at the restaurants.

I recommend visiting early around 8 AM. The birds are super active at that time, and you’ll avoid the bigger crowds later in the day. Plus, it’s cooler and more pleasant to roam around!

My advice is to buy your tickets online ahead of time. It saved me a lot of time on entry, and you might find some discounts too. Every little bit helps, you know?

Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes! The pathways can be uneven, and I found myself a bit worn out by the end. Plus, you’ll want to explore every corner without a sore foot.

Watch the tides! Some areas are shallow and great for swimming during high tide but not so much during low. I didn’t check and ended up walking a lot further!

I recommend getting to the beach by 8 AM before it gets too hot and packed. You'll have the best sunrise views and some peace for swimming.

Bargain a little when renting chairs or umbrellas! I didn't negotiate and ended up paying way more than I should have. Just ask, and you might get a better deal

I recommend avoiding the touristy restaurants directly on the beach; they’re pricier. Walk a few blocks back to find amazing and authentic local eateries!

If you're planning to sunbathe, be sure to set up your towel as early as 9 AM. By noon, finding a spot can be a real challenge!

I suggest grabbing a coconut water from one of the many vendors – super refreshing and way cheaper than the beach bars! Plus, you get to support local businesses.
