Ubatuba

Ubatuba, Sao Paulo sehrinin kuzey-dogusunda yer alip, Atlantik yagmur ormanlariyla kapli genis bir flora ya sahip olan kucuk ve sakin bir kasaba. Ayrica Brezilya'nin en elegant ve stil sahibi yazliklarina veya konutlarina da ev sahipligi yapiyor. Her ne kadar merkezde yapacak neredeyse hic bir sey olmasa da, uc haftanin sadece bes gununu kosturmadan saatlerce kitap okuyarak, yuzerek, plajin ve ormanin tadini cikararak gecirmek istedik. Dolu dolu, bir yandan da sakin gecen bes gunun sonunda ne kadar dogru bir karar verdigimizi anladik. 

Nasil ulasabilirsiniz ? : Ulkede gelismis bir demir yolu sistemi olmadigi icin sehirler arasi mesafelerde uzakligina gore genellikle ucak yada otobus kullaniliyor. Rio - Ubatuba arasi yaklasik 6 saatlik bir mesafe oldugu icin otobus kullanmaktan baska sansimiz yoktu. Otobuslerin ulkemizde oldugu gibi konforlu oldugunu soyleyemeyecegim ama bes uzerinden 3 yildizi hakediyorlar. Biletleriniz icin Util i kontrol edebilirsiniz. 

This post is about Ubatuba we spent five peaceful and happy days. Ubatuba is a really small and calm town located north-east of Sao Paulo city and draped with the rich flora of the Atlantic Rainforest. This region ha become a preeminent resort for well-heeled paulistanos, with its elegant beach homes and a number of stylish hotels and pousadas, especially south of the town. Although there is nothing that much to do in the center, the reason we choose here is to enjoy by doing nothing, lazy on the beach for five days to prepare ourselves for the rushy coming days. We mostly read, fall a sleep on the beach and little walks in the forest. At the end we understood how we were right on our decision. 

How to get there? : As Brazil doesn't have improved rail ways all around the country, to travel intercity according to distance you use either plane or bus. Between Ubatuba and Rio takes around 6 hours so going there by bus was inevitable. I can not say buses are so comfortable as they are in our country but they deserve three stars over five:) For the tickets check the web page of Util.

Praia Vermelha JB gibi surf tutkunlari icin de goz ardi edilemeyecek bir yer. Tabi plajlarin neredeyse tamamen bos ve havanin sansimizdan super gunesli olmasi surf tutkusunu bile geride birakti ve sakinplaj hayatimiz 4 gun boyunca (bir gunumuzu Parati'ye ayirdigimiz icin) araliksiz devam etti. 

Praia Vermelha (Red Beach) has a really good wave that can not be ignored by surf lovers like JB. But the silence of the beach was so cool that he couldn't leave there to combat with waves and spent four (because one day we spent in Parati) full beach days together. 

Bu sevimli mi sevimli sari yengecleri plajin her bir kosesinde gormek mumkundu.

        Adorable yellow crabs were all around the Praia Vermelha 

Bir diger harika plaj ise Cedro. Ulasimi biraz guc oldugu icin her gittigimizde sadece bizi agirlayan enfes koy. Bir plaj dusunsenize yagmur ormanlariyla kapli sadece sizi ve sevdiginizin oldugu... Zaten bosuna Brezilya'nin top 10 plajlarindan birisi olmamis. 

Another wonderful beach was Cedro. Amazing bay which is hard to reach that's why each time it was welcoming just two of us. Imagine a little bay just you and someone you love. It's not one of the to 10 beaches in Brazil for nothing. 

After a long forest trek, this is the path to reach Cedro beach.

Stylish pousadalardan (konuk evi) veya hotellerden birinde kalmaktansa, biz biraz daha mahremiyet ve sessizlik istedik bu yuzden de airbnb den bu ormanin tam ortasindaki kucuk ama sevimli bungalowu kiraladik. Her gun rengarenk kuslarin civiltisiyla uyandik diyebilirim. Simdi dusununce ne cok ozluyorum bu sakli cenneti. 

Instead of staying one of these stylish pousada (guest house) or hotel. We preferred more privacy and silence and we rent a cute bungalow in airbnb just in the middle of the forest. I can say everyday we're being waken up with the tweets of the colorful birds.  Now, when I look back I feel how I miss that hidden paradise.
