• Santos - Journey from Santos to the Village

After picking up guests in Santos or nearby, the journey begins towards Bertioga, where the Indigenous village is situated. The drive typically takes between 1 hour and 30 minutes to 1 hour and 50 minutes, depending on traffic and weather conditions. Travelers will enjoy picturesque views of the coastal Atlantic Forest and the rural landscapes of São Paulo state.

Note: This is a 10-hour tour and is not suitable for cruise ship passengers who need to return to the port in the afternoon. It is only possible if the ship departs late at night and the tour can start early in the morning.

• Rua Tupiniquim Rio Silveira - Cultural Experience at the Guarani Village

Upon arrival, guests are warmly welcomed by members of the Aldeia Rio Silveiras, a Guarani Indigenous village with over 600 residents. A local Guarani guide leads the cultural activities.
This experience includes:

• Opening circle and welcome conversation
• Demonstration of traditional songs, dances, and rituals
• Body painting using jenipapo (a natural black dye)
• Archery training with handmade bows and arrows
• Visit to the open-air craft market, featuring handmade goods, fresh hearts of palm, and other local products

Guests also have the option to take a short trail to the Rio Silveiras, where they can enjoy a peaceful bath in a crystal-clear river surrounded by the Atlantic rainforest.

• Itaguare - Visit to Itaguare Beach

Following the village experience, there is a break for lunch — either at the village itself (if arranged in advance) or at a delightful nearby seafood restaurant (meal not included).

The tour then continues with a 20-minute drive to Itaguare Beach, one of the most pristine and scenic beaches on the São Paulo coast. Located within an environmental protection area, this beach remains largely untouched, with soft white sand, natural pools, and lush native vegetation.

Guests will have approximately 1 to 1.5 hours of free time to:

• Stroll along the tranquil shoreline
• Swim in the calm, clear waters or relax in the natural rock pools
• Simply unwind and enjoy the raw beauty of the Atlantic Forest meeting the ocean

This relaxing beach stop offers the perfect contrast to the cultural immersion — a moment to connect with nature before returning to the city.

• Santos - Return to Santos

After the beach visit, the drive back to Santos begins. The return journey follows the same scenic route and takes approximately 1:30 to 1:50 hours. Guests will be dropped off at their original pickup point, concluding a day of cultural connection, natural beauty, and meaningful experiences.
