Information

Information on Mambucaba

Mambucaba is located in the so called Costa Verde (Green Coast) in the South West of Rio de Janeiro State, near the boundary with Sao Paulo State. In this region the Sierra do Mar mountain range meets the see, and all the mountain slopes are covered by a luxuriant vegetation, part of one of the few extant large extensions of subtropical forest (Mata Atlântica) in the country. The weather is humid and tropical. The meeting will take place in winter, which is relatively drier, but participants should be prepared for some rain. Daily temperatures in July fluctuate between 22 and 32 degrees Celsius (72 and 90 degrees Farenheit), but night lows can go down to 15 Celsius (59 degrees Farenheit).
