📍 What to Expect (Suggested Itinerary)

Our day starts at 9:30 AM, sailing toward Praia do Engenho, a tranquil cove that serves as a base for those wishing to explore the interior of Mamanguá.

We head to Praia do Cruzeiro, where you’ll have the chance to cool off at the Crepúsculo Waterfall. The next stop is Praia do Saco da Velha, famous for its fascinating cave and waters so still they look like a mirror. Here, we take a break for lunch (optional) at an authentic *caiçara* restaurant—dining with your feet in the sand.

On the way back to Paraty, the day includes three more stops at strategic beaches or islands, carefully selected with the boat captain to make the most of the late-afternoon light and avoid crowds. We return to the dock around 4:00 PM, feeling truly refreshed.

‼️ Important: If you choose to hike the Pão de Açúcar Peak trail, the beach-stop itinerary will be adjusted to ensure the tour stays within the scheduled timeframe.
