Pousada das Araras

In the heart of the Atlantic Forest at the foot of Pedra Maria Comprida, Pousada das Araras is a rustic‑chic retreat in Petrópolis (Araras). You're a short drive from Itaipava Market and Castelo de Itaipava, with Vale do Paraíba, Piabanha River and Serra dos Órgãos within easy reach. Rio airports are roughly 79–86 km away.

This sophisticated‑rustic pousada sits on over 150,000 m² of conserved forest and offers 29 rooms with minibars, safes, cable TV, daily housekeeping and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. Expect canopy views, a 1 km hiking trail, and regular sightings of birds, monkeys and small wildlife — simple luxury tuned to nature.

Swim in indoor and outdoor pools, sweat it out in the sauna or steam bath, or sip at the poolside bar. There’s a picnic area, garden vistas, a massage room and tour/ticket assistance for local excursions. Complimentary Wi‑Fi is available across the property.

24‑hour business center and front desk, luggage storage and free self parking make meetings and arrivals painless. Wi‑Fi throughout keeps you connected.

An on‑site restaurant and bar/lounge serve meals and drinks, plus limited‑hour room service. A complimentary continental breakfast is offered daily from 8 AM to 11 AM, and the inn sits within the Serra’s tourist‑gastronomic route for regional flavors nearby.
