With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Itatiaia, 16 miles away, has to offer. Pequena Finlandia should be at the top of your list here. Serrinha do Alambari and Parque Nacional do Itatiaia are interesting attractions too. Don’t forget about Angra dos Reis either! Just 40 miles away, Biscaia Beach, Bonfim Beach and Cataguás Island are must-sees here.
