Discover the Serene Beauty of Paróquia Santa Teresa de Jesus

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from the main entrance of Serra dos Órgãos National Park, head towards the BR-040 highway. Take the exit towards Teresópolis and continue on the BR-040 for approximately 12 kilometers. Use the signs to navigate towards Rio de Janeiro. Merge onto the RJ-106 road, and follow the signs for Santa Teresa. Once in the Santa Teresa neighborhood, navigate to R. Áurea, 71, where the Paróquia Santa Teresa de Jesus is located. Parking may be limited in the area, so be prepared to look for street parking.

• Public Transportation

  From the main entrance of Serra dos Órgãos National Park, take a bus heading towards Rio de Janeiro. Look for buses labeled 'Rio de Janeiro' or 'Santa Teresa' which will typically leave from the Teresópolis bus station. The fare is about R$ 15. Once you arrive in Santa Teresa, you can either walk or take a local taxi to R. Áurea, 71. The church is a short distance from the bus stop, but if you're unfamiliar with the area, a local taxi may be more convenient.

• Taxi or Ride-Sharing

  If you prefer a more direct route, you can use a taxi or a ride-sharing app like Uber. Simply input the destination as 'R. Áurea, 71, Santa Teresa, Rio de Janeiro' into the app. The cost varies depending on traffic but expect to pay around R$ 30-50 from the park area. This option is great if you want to avoid public transport and have a more comfortable journey.
