With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Sao Lourenco, 20 miles away, has to offer. Aguas de Sao Lourenco Park, Chapel Inha Chica and Sociedade Brasileira de Eubiose Museum alone make the drive out here worthwhile. Don’t skip Itatiaia either! Just 25 miles away, Pequena Finlandia, Serrinha do Alambari and Parque Nacional do Itatiaia are non-negotiable stops here.
