Tips by GUSTAVO VIVACQUA |
|
1. Cananéia has the largest oyster of Brazil. It is the size of a fried egg and it is very cheap. Don't lose this rare opportunity to eat one. 2. There is a sea museum with the largest stuffed shark of the world. It has almost 6 meters and 5 tons. 3. Since you are there, think about going on a boat trip to Ilha Comprida (Long Island) and Ilha do Cardoso (Cardoso Island). They are 2 different leisure options and you even can get to see some dolphins, whcich is very common around there. 4. If you're looking for autonomous diving, be sure to bring the whole aquipment, because there aren't support for divers there. 5. It frequently rains there, so check the weather conditions before traveling. 6. In the weekends the boats leave starting from the 9:00. In the high season they leave every hour. 7. "It is worthwhile to get to know it, because you'll certainty want to return, the beach of Long Island is wonderful, the green flora is too. There are some cool campings, however night parties practically don't exist. I recommend... Kisses" tip from Angel 8.""A boat trip is an obligatory option here." tip from Flavia Batista da Paixão |
