Get to know the place
Cairu is an island municipality that includes Morro de São Paulo and Boipeba. In Tinharé, Segunda Praia and Quarta Praia offer different seaside routes; in Boipeba, Boca da Barra and Moreré invite you to discover the islands' landscape. Choose your base carefully, as the crossings are part of the trip.
Plan your stay from the area where you intend to concentrate your outings. Choosing the base helps reduce travel time and leaves more time to observe the scenery and explore places at a relaxed pace. Allow for rest periods between visits and adapt the itinerary to the group's rhythm.
Before you go, confirm access conditions to attractions and return transport. In natural areas, respect signage and local guidance; in historic ensembles, observe the everyday use of the spaces and the schedule of the places you want to visit.
