Saco do Mamanguá is an 8 km long and 2 km wide cove, with 33 beaches and 8 caiçara communities. It is considered the only tropical fjord on the Brazilian coast.
The most used access is by boat from Paraty-Mirim. The crossing takes 20–40 min and local boatmen negotiate destinations within the Saco.
The 1.5 km trail that reveals Mamanguá from above: 425 m altitude, steep climb through dense forest and a 360° view of the fjord that you won't forget.
In addition to Pão de Açúcar, Mamanguá has 33 beaches by boat, mangroves to explore by kayak and 8 communities with caiçara cuisine and crafts.
Mamanguá is the central axis that connects all of Paraty's beaches and remote trails. Understanding this connection is essential for planning any adventure itinerary in the region.
May to October is the ideal window. Furthermore, heavy rains make trails difficult and rough seas compromise boats.
