Macaé, located on the north coast of Rio de Janeiro, approximately 180 km from the capital, is known for its beautiful coastal landscapes and natural diversity. Founded in the 19th century, the city has its roots in the development of the oil industry, which drove its economic and urban growth.
Macaé is a city rich in natural beauty and attractions, especially for lovers of outdoor activities. The place offers several waterfalls, beaches, islands and trails with beautiful landscapes. Located approximately 3 hours from Rio de Janeiro, the trip to the city is faster and more comfortable with a helicopter flight departing from the capital, landing directly at Macaé Airport.
