A protected Atlantic Forest fragment near Praia do Forte offering dense canopy, shady trails, freshwater lagoons and rich birdlife—excellent for intimate forest scenes, macro flora, and wildlife portraits. Visit at dawn for active birds and mist; golden hour near clearings gives warm backlight through leaves. Trails are uneven; access by car from Mata de São João with limited roadside parking—bring insect repellent, water, and a tele/zoom for shy birds. Near TAMAR project and local fishing towns
