It's only 22 kilometers but can easily take 1 hour, because of the road.

Allied to the beautiful cliffs in shades of pink, red, beige, and ocher, Praia do Espelho becomes a paradise for lovers of the sea. The view is complete with the intense coconut trees that border the strip of sand and also with the river that flows into the sea, giving a bucolic and even more charming air.

After breakfast, we’ll visit Corumbau. A short trip by buggy of 30 minutes and arriving there we must cross a river with a canoe. The canoe trip takes about 5 minutes. In Corumbau we do a little walk on the beach to explore and photograph. We will meet and photograph local fishermen, and indigenous people.

“The difficult access to Praia da Ponta do Corumbau, which is considered one of the best beaches in Brazil, helps keep it looking like it used to be, when the beaches were only occupied by fishing villages. There, there are no crowds of tourists, no large hotels or clusters of tents on the sand. In Corumbau, what reigns is the tranquility and the movement of the tide, which takes and brings that little point of sand and hypnotizes the few tourists who walk there.”

After we can relax at the beach, on the white sand, and have a delicious and fresh snack. Every time we can swim in the warm ocean.

On the way back we will visit an indigenous family, and their house and have a drink with them.
