The property is located in the City of Maricá (pop. 75,000), in the State of Rio de Janeiro. Copacabana, Ipanema, the center of Rio and its international and domestic airports are all within a one hour drive from the property, and can be accessed by public transportation for less than $2 or by a private taxi for about $30 round trip. Car rentals in Brazil are much more expensive than in the USA, however it is more reasonable and convenient to utilize one of the many taxis willing to work at rates slightly higher than their fuel costs. Maricá is a very safe, relaxed and tranquil beach-town. Maricá is large enough to have all the things you will need from day to day, yet small enough to alleviate the headaches of city traffic and high tourist prices. Being only 45 minutes to one hour away from the heart of Rio, many honeymooners, business owners, politicians, and foreign retirees find Maricá the ideal place for a perfect get-away.

An excellent location for those looking for a quiet, safe and friendly refuge from the daily grind. Enjoy the calm serenity of the area’s numerous lakes, the grand beauty of its miles of open ocean beaches or trek into the nearby mountains to spend the day lounging in the natural pools of the local waterfalls and exploring the miles of trails. Shopping and food in this area are generally much more reasonable than in the city and the area has a more 'locals oriented' atmosphere. Everyone remembers your name and treats you like a life-long friend, rather than a tourist. On a normal day, the beach in Maricá is very peaceful and quiet and rarely fills up with people, except during the celebration of Carnival. With all of the sights, tourist spots, beautiful beaches, and entertainment of Rio, you will never get bored here.

The current exchange rate will give you more than $2 Brazilian reais for every $1 U.S. dollar. Not only will the exchange rate give you much more money, but also with the lower cost of living most items are much less expensive and more affordable here. We would like to invite you to visit Maricá and the beautiful vacation memories we are offering. Please let us know how we can assist you. We are looking forward to hearing back from you, and hope we can meet soon.
