Day by day
The tour begins by leaving the dock located in the historical center of Paraty to go to the Cairuçu Environmental Protection Area, where the Saco do Mamanguá is located. We will go aboard a speedboat, which provides a pleasant climate of adventure due to its high navigation speed.
The region has 33 beaches, most of which are deserted, and 8 Caiçara communities that are home to the cultural diversity of the region. During the tour we will make 3 stops where it is possible to snorkel, enjoying even more the natural beauties and marine life.
The first one is at Engenho Beach, which has that name because near it, in the middle of the forest, are the ruins of an old sugar cane mill.
Our second stop is at Praia do Costa, where we will have approximately 40 minutes to relax and enjoy its calm emerald green waters.
Our last stop will be at Ilhote de Mamangua.
After enjoying a few unforgettable hours, we will return to Paraty.
