Tips by GUSTAVO VIVACQUA

1. Take care with the speed bumps of the city. They are inverted, instead of ramps they are ditches that wreck the car.  

2. Visit the ramp of hand-gliding in Serra do Mar. It has the best view of the city. 

3. For who enjoys to ride the bike, the city has an endless bike lane. Besides, the sand is hard and you can also ride by the beach. 

4. Ride on horse for the trails of the Serra do Mar is a good option too. In the equine club of the city you get to rent horses. 

5. Guides from "Fundação Cultural e Associação Ecológica" (Cultural Foundation and Ecological Association) take you for the trails of the old roads.  

6. The Rough Beach is the most beautiful, don't miss it. 

7. If you like to drive karts, the city has one of the best tracks of Brazil.
