A shipping container home in the forest, just 10 km from Rio's most beautiful beaches!

Exclusive and secluded location near the Pedra Branca State Park - PEPB (we are a 20-minute walk from the official trail) and very close to the most beautiful beaches and waterfalls in the city! Secure condominium with pure spring water, freshness and total silence. Enjoy unforgettable days in the forest! =]

Here you can take a peaceful walk on our dirt road, have breakfast in front of the pool, have lunch in the kitchen or at the barbecue, enjoy the pool with its waterfall (or the hot tub on colder days), relax a lot, and even enjoy a movie session with popcorn or pizza. ***No parties allowed!

Remember that you are in a conservation area! Do not make a mess or excessive noise (subject to environmental fine). 2. Food scraps should only go in the kitchen trash can, recyclable waste only in the barbecue area trash can. Organize your trash! Keep the bags closed and sealed, and if possible, leave them in the Mãe Terra condominium trash can, which is only 850 metres from the house (we don't have a car, we appreciate your kindness!). 3. Before leaving: put the cover on the pool and jacuzzi, turn everything off, and leave all used towels together in the bathroom. 4. When closing the windows and locking the doors, don't forget to leave the keys where you got them and to scramble the combination lock. PLACES OF INTEREST in the region for those who enjoy tourism with lots of greenery, trails, waterfalls, beaches and, above all, valuing local culture and commerce: 1) Vargem Grande Waterfall, which can be accessed through Quilombo Cafundá Astrogilda, a quilombola resistance site that also offers workshops, classes and incredible experiences. On the way there or back, it's also worth checking out the snacks at the Tô na Boa bar and restaurant. 2) You can also visit the Grumari Municipal Natural Park and take a dip in the spectacular Grumari Beach (other nearby beaches are: Secreto, Macumba, Prainha, Pontal, Abricó, Recreio, Barra da Tijuca and Reserva). 3) Another option is to spend the day at Háras Pégasus and go horseback riding or maybe even take some riding lessons. 4) For those who enjoy trekking, practically next to our little house (20 min walk) we have the entrance to one of the official trail sections of the Pedra Branca State Park - PEPB. Be sure to check out the tips on the Transcarioca Trail website. The landmark to know you've arrived, besides the sign, is the gate numbered 2000 at Maria Damião's house.
