Paqueta, the best island în the world - We recommend Paqueta Island if you are looking for an extraordinary experience. The island is unique, has many legends and is very quiet. Here you will see baobabs (one of the biggest trees, originally from Africa), various architectures, churches and many traditions. Also, there are no cars on the island, so you should have comfortable sneakers with you. Thank you Monica, for this great experience, the best guide in Brazil.

Paquetá Island paradise - The island was like stepping back in time. The views were beautiful and the people were all very welcoming. Monica was on time and had all we needed ready for our tour. She kind and lovely to talk to with a strong knowledge of the area. We would highly recommend visiting Paquetá. Take a bottle of water with you and insect repellant.
