Unwind in Morro de Sao Paulo…

Just like a dream… In the morning the sea sound makes you jump from bed pretty early every morning. The breakfast is ready and it’s full of fruits, cheese, coconut, coffee and lots of different tropical juices.

Morro do Sao Paulo is the after carnival place, which is quite interesting, because, it’s a beautiful island without cars, the streets are made of sand; so you can walk from the beach to the city without shoes. The ambience here is between chilled out and not because there are still many parties during the week on the island.

At night time I didn’t want out to go anywhere, I spent the time just chillin’, and working a bit for the next video. While you take the sun, there are these guys that sell Açai (which is a fruit that comes from the Amazonas) frozen, with bananas, strawberries and honey… Also you can refresh yourself with some delicious coconut water… so good!

In the daytime, this place is a paradise, you can eat a great variety of seafood on the beach - mainly this cream that many restaurants have made of shrimps…mhhhhhh!! Lobsters, fish, tuna…


Near our place, we had four different beaches around, so you were able to choose the beach of your preference, we were in front of the beach number 1 which was just right beside beach number 2.

Beach number 2 was the tourist one, packed with açai sellers, stands selling coconut water, caipirinha stands, lots of restaurants, and people playing beach volleyball or a game similar to ping pong but without the table, and the beach was completely packed!

You only have to walk around 50 meters, to get onto the beach number 3, this beach was less packed and you were able to enjoy a nice show of kite boarding with very nice guys. I loved this beach!!! Just a couple of restaurants and kites: pretty nice.

But also there’s the beach number 4, this beach is like heavenly heaven because the beach was so lonely and peaceful, you can just go there and sit down in the small pools that are formed by big stones and sea water, which is the best since you can enjoy of the heat of the sun, but also refresh yourself at the same time. Lonely beach, no restaurants, no people, no sellers; just you and the beach, so quiet and calm.









At night time, this island is full of options, you can go and have a romantic dinner on the beach, surrounded by candles and hearing some live romantic Brazilian music and have a nice lobster.
You can find since Argentinean or Italian restaurant, as well local restaurants or you can eat something in ·“the beach street” like sweet and salty crepes, hot sticks of cheese or caipifrutas. This Island is packed of Israelis, Spanish and Argentineans so most of the people here understand Spanish and obviously was easier for me.


For me it was completely what I was looking for, the beach, the silence, the wonderful hammocks (I’m going to miss them), I can tell that I’m refreshed, and ready to keep on going into this wonderful trip.
