About this site
Calhaus lies at Laje de Santos, a marine park island off the coast of Sao Paulo state in southern Brazil, reached by boat from ports such as Guaruja or Santos. The "lado de fora" designation refers to the outer face of this rocky formation, facing open water rather than the more sheltered side.
