While Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo often steal the spotlight, there's a lesser-known Brazilian city that promises a secret paradise for adventurous travelers. Ubatuba, a seaside resort cherished by locals but flying under the radar of international tourists, remains a relatively undiscovered gem. Much like the rest of South America, the city is a melting pot of culture, characterized by its abundance of pristine beaches, incredible geological formations, and vibrant nightlife. Located just five hours from Rio de Janeiro by bus or car and three hours from São Paulo by car, Ubatuba is an ideal seaside vacation spot within a few hours' reach of major international airports. While Rio de Janeiro has its fair share of beautiful beaches, Ubatuba's shores are less crowded and more frequented by locals.
