For those traveling along the BR101 between Angra dos Reis and Parati, you hardly notice the beautiful village of Mambucaba.
The origin of Mambucaba dates back to the end of the 16th century, having been an important point for whaling in the beginning.
From the 18th to the 19th century, Mambucaba was an important coffee exporter and slave importer to the Paraíba Valley.
Today Mambucaba is one of the beaches chosen mainly by Brazilians from neighboring cities who come here to enjoy the beautiful beaches.
