Costa Verde

Green Coast.

  • Miles: 368
  • Start: Rio de Janeiro
  • End: São Paulo
  • Time: 10 hours to 2 days
  • Suitability: any 125cc and above

This trip is suitable for riders of ALL skill levels. But that doesn’t mean it won’t be rewarding for the ultimate motorcycle fiends among us!

As you drive out from the busy traffic of Rio, you will pass through emerald rainforests and some of the pristine beaches along the Atlantic coast. All along the route, you will enjoy the views of beautiful islands and the green slopes of the Serra do Mar mountain ranges.  

Quite simply, you might find yourself blurting out “Oh My God!” at the views (or “Oh meu deus!” if you manage to pick up a few bits of Portuguese).

The ride also gives you the chance to explore the wide range of diverse dishes including some traditional seafood menus. If you are looking for Instagram-worthy shots, ride into the town of Paraty, famous for its old colonial architecture.

Another great option is to make this trip over the weekend. That way, you will find the town of Angra dos Reis turning into a lively den of rock and pop after the sun sets. Or else you can take a boat and head to the Ilha Grande nature reserve, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
