stunning white sand dunes line the road to arraial do cabo - the largest of these sand structures, named duna madre (mother dune), is a perfect spot to gaze at the sunset during the summer.

the sunset is undoubtedly the best time to admire the canal do itajurú - it is an unbelievably romantic setting and perfect for couples to spend some quality time together.

the channel is a total of 6 kilometers long, linking the beautiful araruama lagoon to the atlantic ocean, there is also a very popular arts and crafts fair nearby - and certainly worth a look.
