Cairu and Valença: mangroves and churches with guide

Morro de São Paulo
Excursion

Private boat departure with guide to the towns of Cairu and Valença, leaving from the Morro de São Paulo pier with hotel pick-up on foot, as the island has no vehicle traffic. The route sails through the Rio do Inferno mangroves and reaches the town of Cairu, where the Convento e Igreja de Santo Antônio, built by Franciscans in 1654, is visited, then continues to the Valença pier on the Rio Una. The service includes a guide and runs on a fibreglass boat; passing the mangrove sandbanks requires a skipper with local experience. Admission to religious sites and consumption are not included.
