Description

English: The route leaves from the center of Ubatuba (SP) and goes to the center of Paraty (RJ) on the Rio-Santos Road (BR 101). The route is all asphalt and mostly follows the shoulder of the road along the coast, with beautiful views. There are more than 40 beaches between the two towns and you cross the border between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro states a little after the halfway point. The start and finish points are the main church squares in each town.
