Lapa de Santa Margarida

Reviewed By ZedDubai - Dubai, United Arab Emirates

It wasn't easy to find it. I followed google maps as much as possible to the road leading to Praia dos Pilotos (and the road is closed in summer right there), then asked a local kiosk who led me to the top of the stairs. Mind you, the decent on stairs takes 10-15 minutes (and you have to go back up), and the path is narrow with long bushes at times. But you literally descend to sea level, and the entrance to the cave is amazing. The church is speechless, especially with the sound of breaking waves right next to you. It's dark, and may be spooky for small children, but magnificent to visit. It's quite a shame that it's polluted with graffiti.

Circuito Ribeirinho Barreiro

A walk which extends from the Copacabana beach to the Augusto Cabrita riverside promenade. Over the 10 km of river front, we get to know an unique side of Barreiro, where a rich historical past meets the future, alongside the city that is progressively evolved by the river.
