The best waterfalls to visit are definately these ones. The hike can be steep but it is well worth it. Just don't forget your insect repellent as the mosquitoes are a nightmare!

If you really want to explore historical places Paraty is worth the drive. It does take 3 hours to drive but you will not be disappointed. It is in the state of Rio De Janerio and it is steeped in history. I would recommend staying overnight here to experience the town fully.
