even better, it would be spending one night in a local pousada, so to start exploring right away the following day.

estrada de grumari connects grumari beach to estrada roberto burle marx, and in turn to barra de guaratiba beach.

for first-time visitors, the best way would be via taxi, which could be expensive unless divided 4-way - the maximum number of passengers allowed in a taxi.

an average taxi ride will be about 80 minutes each way, and could total about 300 reals roundtrip.

while by bus, average travel time is about 120 minutes each way, at a round trip cost of about 30 reals per person, depending on the buses line.
