About Parque dos Tupiniquins
Parque dos Tupiniquins is located around Forte São João, beside the Canal de Bertioga. The statue of Cunhambebe and the circulation areas let you combine landscape observation with references to the city's indigenous and colonial history.
Walk the boardwalks without losing sight of the relationship between the park and the fortification. The renovation of the space added accessibility features, but it's worth checking which routes are available on the date of your visit. Visitors who need assistance should state the requirement when planning entry to the fort.
The park can be the start or finish of a walk through the centre. Take a moment at the statue and the canal, keeping the passage clear for other visitors. If you want to see the interior of Forte São João, check reception separately: circulation around the exterior does not mean that all areas of the fortification are open.
