A protected Atlantic Forest fragment near Jardim Mariléa offering dense trails, coastal scrub, small streams and mangrove edges — great for intimate nature and landscape studies, close-up plant and bird shots, and moody forest light. Best at golden hour or after rain for saturated colors. Access is via R. Niterói; parking on-street is limited and trails are unpaved. No formal entry fee but pack insect repellent, water, and respect conservation rules. Weekday mornings are quieter.
