Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

When looking for accommodation in Barra do Rio Abaixo, you can also consider regional destinations in the municipality of Cabreúva: depending on your interests, options include the nature of the Serra do Japi, the sports and play facilities at Parque Ecológico do Piraí, Estrada dos Romeiros, which is used for cycling and motorcycle rides, or cultural attractions.

Nature in the Serra do Japi

Fazenda Guaxinduva is an area in the Serra do Japi with waterfalls, rivers, lakes, natural pools, forests, and hiking trails. Water features are among the distinct landscape highlights, alongside the forest and trails. You can spend the day there or camp, offering a choice between a day visit and camping.

For visitors arriving by bicycle through the main entrance, Fazenda Guaxinduva offers a special cyclist voucher. It includes a stay of up to three hours, from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and must be booked in advance via WhatsApp. These conditions make it a distinct planning option with a set morning time slot. Voucher terms and booking procedures may change; confirm the details directly with the fazenda before making plans.

Sports and Routes

Located in the Vilarejo district of the municipality of Cabreúva, Parque Ecológico do Piraí has a skatepark, a children's playground, an outdoor fitness area, and a plant nursery. The focus here is on sports and play facilities, complemented by the plant nursery. This distinguishes the park from the landscape features and hiking trails of Fazenda Guaxinduva. Check the opening hours before visiting.

Estrada dos Romeiros (SP-312) connects Santana de Parnaíba with Itu, passes through Pirapora do Bom Jesus and Cabreúva, and is used for cycling and motorcycling. It is a destination in its own right. For planning purposes, the road route is therefore different from a visit to a single facility such as Parque Ecológico do Piraí.

Culture and Meditation

The Museu de Cabreúva “Lucy Ciola” features objects and information about nature, cachaça production, the development of the settlement, and Cabreúva's popular and cultural forms of expression. Visitors interested in the settlement's history and cultural topics will find a distinct focus here, alongside nature and local production.

Centro de Meditação Kadampa Brasil offers guided tours, meditation courses, and retreats. The visitor program may change; check the current schedule before making plans. The center also has a cafeteria, a bookstore, and gardens. Confirm the current availability of these facilities before visiting. In terms of content, the collection is the focus at Museu de Cabreúva, while Centro de Meditação Kadampa Brasil focuses on its program of tours, courses, and retreats.
