Indigenous Guarani Village & Atlantic Forest — Private Day Trip

Visit the Guarani Indigenous community in the city of Bertioga and experience a meaningful cultural and nature-based day in the Atlantic Forest. This is not a staged performance, each visit is authentic and shaped by the community’s rhythm and what they choose to share. Learn about Guarani spirituality, values, language, and daily life, and take part in moments that may include cultural conversation, optional jenipapo body painting, traditional archery demonstration, and observation of crafts and community life. Enjoy a light forest walk to the Silveira River, a sacred place with crystal-clear natural pools perfect for swimming and relaxing. During the experience, enjoy two food moments: a symbolic Indigenous tasting and a light picnic provided by the tour host. After the community visit, enjoy lunch and downtime at Praia da Enseada, a calm, family-friendly beach with kiosks, shade, and gentle waves. A portion of your tour supports local Indigenous projects.
