Barra do Piraí is famous for its historic coffee plantations, some of which welcome visitors while others operate as picturesque pousadas. These properties hold significant remnants of Brazil's history, offering valuable experiences to tourists who can explore places dedicated to coffee, cachaça, and eco-friendly produce. Stay at the colonial-style Fazenda Ponte Alta and arrive in style by taking a 30 minute helicopter transfer from Rio de Janeiro.
Boasting a population of just over 100,000 residents and a strategic location just an hour away from the state capital, Barra do Piraí has a longstanding industrial heritage that provides the perfect foundation for its growth as a modern midsize city in Brazil. Renowned for its robust industries, including metallurgy and textiles, it plays a pivotal role in the regional economy. Simultaneously, its lush landscapes and the confluence of the Paraíba do Sul River offer scenic beauty and rich biodiversity.
