Arraial do Cabo is a historic place, at the seaside, in the Lake Region, 140 km from Rio de Janeiro, easily reached from airports and bus stations in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

A unique place in a privileged location, near the bustle of larger centers such as Cabo Frio and Búzios. But, it still maintains untouched the characteristics of a small and tranquil fishing village, with exuberant natural beauty, pristine white sandy beaches, dunes, rocky points, a blue sea with limpid and transparent waters that are perfect for diving
