Ubatuba
and its location
U
batuba is practically located
between the two largest
Brazilian cities: São Paulo and
Rio de Janeiro. From São Paulo’s state
capital (155 miles) and the Rio de
Janeiro’s capital (192 miles), the distance
between Ubatuba and the two Brazilian
metropolises are covered through an
outstanding highway that connect to
the “Tamoios Road” or “Osvaldo Cruz
road” to reach the coast line.
Located approximately 70 nautical
miles from the port of Santos and 110
nautical miles from the port of Rio de
Janeiro, the port of call of Ubatuba is on
the right path for any cruise ship calling
Rio de Janeiro, Santos or going down
South America towards Cape Horn as
an option for a relaxing, rich and cruise
ship oriented port of call. Its position is
perfect for the 3 and 4 days mini-cruises
