Just beyond the edges of one of the largest cities on the planet, a stretch of ancient rainforest and coastline lies mostly unknown to international travelers.
The roughly 370 miles of São Paulo state’s pristine, mountainous coastline is nestled beneath the canopy of the Atlantic Forest.
It is the second most biodiverse region in the Americas, after the Amazon.
Greater São Paulo holds more than 21 million people, with the wider urban sprawl pushing past 30 million.
Yet a two- to three-hour drive from this megacity in Brazil delivers tumbling waterfalls, deserted beaches and welcoming fishing villages.
It is where the pace of life is still dictated by the moon and the tides. (CNN)
Sounds like one of a kind!
