Instant booking available
This special tour offers you:
- Experience the untouched nature of the Atlantic Rain Forest in Sebuí, a private preservation area - 2 nights in the middle of the forest
- Visit the Superagui National Park: Desert Beach and the return to the island of the purple-faced-parrots
Private nature reserve of Sebu - Enzo, an Italian from Rome, is the owner of this privately preserved area, located approximately 30 min by boat from Guaraqueçaba. Enzo is a nature lover. He worked in several countries before deciding to fix his residence in Brazil and live there with his family. He is responsible for a 400-hectare area located along the bay of dos Pinheiros and which has an impressive natural diversity. On the paths throughout the forest, visitors will gain some knowledge about the ecological system of the region. They can visit several waterfalls. Until the first waterfall, the path is relatively easy. As the tour proceeds, it becomes tiring but the path does not get dangerous. The reward for the effort is a soothing bath in the crystal-clear water.
On an artificial boardwalk, visitors can observe the flora and fauna, and learn about the importance of the mangrove and the sea. They can see dolphins, toucans, monkeys, macaws, parrots, capybaras and many more creatures. They can also see numerous bromeliads and orchids. In the centre of the nature reserve, there is a building with a kitchen, lounge, shower and bathroom, a deck for tents and hammocks in the veranda. In addition, there are two little chalets with two bunk beds, a toilet and a basin. All sleeping accommodations are protected by mosquito nets. The main building has drinking water, and energy provided by solar cells.
For those who prefer a more direct contact with nature, there exist two tree houses beyond the refuge. Structured on two levels, there is a double bed and a toilet. Instead of walls there are mosquito nets installed, which keep the insects outside but let in the sounds of the forest. Visitors can get a good overview of the environment. Electricity is not available here; only candle light is available. The delicious meals are based on fish and are served in a very traditional way. This place is not recommended for people who prefer luxury but for people who are looking for close contact with the overwhelming beauty of the region.
Superagüi National Park has an area of 33.998 hectares and includes the Ilha do Superagüi, the Ilha das Peças, o Vale do Rio dos Patos, and the Ilhas do Pinheiro and Pinheirinho. There are many fishermen living on the island. The structure is very simple. Beyond this lies a perfect place to spend an afternoon in the lonely beaches and watch the return of the papagaios-de-cara-roxa (purple-faced parrots) at the end of the day. The beach "Deserta" on the Ilha do Superagüi is the main attraction of the region, with 38 km of white sand.
