Búzios Trip Overview
Mangue de Pedras is different from other mangroves around the world, which form on muddy soil and at the mouth of rivers, the mangrove in Buzios is formed by gravel and coarse sand, with no rivers nearby to discharge fresh water. This action is done by rainwater infiltrated into the ground.
To complete the unique landscape, the scenery features large trees with roots braided amidst rocks and small natural pools. Parallel to the beach and the mangrove, the typical vegetation of the region displays cacti and bromeliads in a rare combination for a mangrove environment.
Ponta do Pai Vitório is formed by tectonic movements, the “fault” – as the Ponta is called by geologists – impresses for the “set of the work”. Covered by dense vegetation and advancing over the sea amid rocks, it creates an exotic and wild landscape, perfect for many recordings.

Itinerary
This circuit starts at the panoramic viewpoint on Rua Carlito Gonçalves, and through a small trail we access Mangue de Pedras, which has its own and exclusive ecosystem.
From the Mangue, the route follows the rocks towards the deserted Negros beach and, from there, to Ponta do Pai Vitório Beach. The path is quite uneven and requires good mobility to walk on the rocks.
A fast, but steep and closed trail leads to the Pai Vitório viewpoint, one of the most desired spots for taking selfies nowadays, revealing a spectacular view of Ponta and the beach with the same names. Downstairs, the beach with green waters and which is constantly visited by turtles, is a great option for diving. In addition to the optional bath, it is also possible to go around Ponta, exploring the rocks amidst the vegetation.
