Caso opte por se arrumar com um profissional, reunimos uma lista com sugestões de salões de beleza em Sāo Carlos com serviços de cabelo e maquiagem.
Also, we are organising some trips in Brazil which we will be part of. One in Ubatuba for around 7 days before the wedding (with David only) and two of around 10 days combined after the wedding (with the both of us) to Pantanal and Chapada dos Guimaraes. More info and WhatsApp links below:
Ubatuba Tour (David only, 21-27 August)
I booked the Larc House in Ubatuba: https://www.booking.com/Share-oi2NYv (I know :)))
I will meet my parents at Sao Paulo airport on Friday 21 August in the morning and then take the bus at 9:15am to Ubatuba. Bus takes around 4:30 hours and costs R100 (https://www.passaromarron.com.br/portal-de-passagens/).
On Thursday 27 August, we will take the bus back to Sao Paulo and from there to Sao Carlos.
If we are a bigger group, we could also book a private bus. Please let me know if you would like to join.
Ubatuba is absolutely stunning!!!
We decided to have a home base in Ubatuba and do day trips up the coast from here. Visitng Paraty is definitely on the bucket list. If you wanted to, you could also stay shorter in Ubatuba and travel up the coast.
