Praia do Meio, a wild paradise in Rio

 Praia do Meio is one of the last wild beaches in Rio de Janeiro. It is located in Barra de Guaratiba, a neighborhood in the West Zone of the city.

Access to the beach is via a moderate-level trail lasting approximately one hour.

It has rough seas being calmer in the left corner where at times it forms a natural pool. In this same corner is a small source of fresh water where it is possible to remove the salt from the body.

It is worth mentioning that before venturing on a trail, seek information and, if necessary, hire a qualified professional. Another thing, all waste produced must be brought back and it is also forbidden to feed wild animals.

Pedra Branca State Park is the highest point in the city at 1025 meters high, but its view is limited due to the vegetation that surrounds the place.
