Lighthouse Tourist Spot
Farol do Morro, or “Lighthouse Hill,” is the a personal paradise created by Antonio and Rosita Couto. So stunned by the view and the location, the couple decided to share their newfound paradise with other travelers opening a hotel on the magical site in 1986. Nowadays, guests of the hotel and visitors frequent the restaurant for the pristine views accessible from one of the busiest walking streets in Morro de São Paulo. Arrive in the afternoon, before the dinner rush, to grab a table overlooking the water.

  • Morro de São Paulo is a mix of Búzios years ago with the slopes of Ouro Preto. There are breath and legs. To get to the Lighthouse takes place in front of the beautiful church of Our Lady of light and follow towards Bat's lair. The ideal is to go around at sunset. The view is stunning.
