Crevice of Our Lady of AssumptionPass-by Only
Located at one end of Cabo Frio Island, although belonging to Arraial do Cabo, the Fenda da Nossa Senhora Aparecida is a rock formation that appears to have been cut like a slice of the island's cake. The story goes that in 1721 a fisherman found a statue of Our Lady of Aparecida there, beginning a journey that took her in procession to the Church of Our Lady of Assunção, in Cabo Frio, where she was solemnly enthroned. This episode is narrated in the book "O outro Cabo Frio" by Luiz Carlos da Cunha, although many consider its veracity to be a legend. Nowadays, an image of the Saint is present both in the church in Cabo Frio and inside the crevice itself in Arraial do Cabo. The opening is about 5 meters wide by 40 meters high, almost reaching sea level. Before this opening, there is a rocky part exactly where the statue of the Saint is sheltered.
Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia
The staircase that leads to Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia looks like a portal to paradise. From the top of the hill, you can see a truly paradisiacal scene. It's difficult not to be mesmerized by the stunning view: white sands, sea in varying tones and the untouched green of Ilha do Farol in the background. The descent is steep, with many steps, but a photo stop along the way is always welcome. It is essential not to confuse Prainhas do Pontal do Atalaia with Prainha near the entrance to the city, nor with Praia do Pontal which extends along the same strip of sand as Praia do Forte, in Cabo Frio. Prainhas are located on Morro do Pontal do Atalaia and get their name due to the formation of two beaches that join together into a single strip of sand when the tide is low. The color of the water varies depending on the time of day, current, sunlight and other factors, transitioning between shades of green and blue.
Located in Arraial do Cabo, Praia do Forno could not be less than stunning. Its waters mix a tone between blue and green, displaying an exuberance that transports its visitors to another world. From certain angles, its landscape is very reminiscent of the beaches of the Mexican Caribbean, not only because of the incredible color of the waters, but also because of the cacti that emerge among the native vegetation of the Atlantic Forest. The name "Praia do Forno" is an allusion to the heat emanating from all sides - from the sky, the sand and the rocks. However, don't worry! The refreshing waters guarantee relief and provide a well-deserved rest to enjoy the height of the beauty of Rio's coastline.
