Macaeのトップ観光スポット
💡 Best photo spot is from the side courtyard in late afternoon light, avoiding direct sun on the facade.
💡 Check if the Planetarium next door is open — same building, often free on weekends.
💡 Go early morning to spot locals exercising or grab a coconut water from the beach vendors before the heat sets in.
💡 Visit during the annual Macaé Expo (late August) for free concerts and agricultural displays — otherwise it's very quiet.
💡 The unmarked trail along the western bank starts behind the abandoned petrol station on Estrada da Lagoa. Wear long trousers — ticks and mosquitoes can be bothersome.
