Description
Pousada Picinguaba is a traditional converted fazenda in a tiny fishing village surrounded by tropical rainforest and mountainous peaks. The hotel is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty, within the heart of a protected national park.
All of the ten guest rooms, each with private balconies, have stunning views over the bay or gardens. There is also a restaurant serving mouth watering local dishes using freshly caught fish from the bay and organic ingredients sourced from the hotel's very own farm.
Sail to deserted islands on the hotel’s very own 40ft schooner, picnic on secluded beaches, enjoy mouthwatering local cuisine, hike within the forest to natural pools, bathe in nearby waterfalls and visit the nearby colonial town of Paraty.
