paquetá is a small island with charming residents and picture-perfect views, making it a nearby getaway destination for people looking to take a break from the intensity of the city.

to preserve the natural and historic feel of the island, cars are banned.

the result is a series of dirt and pebbled roads that can only be transited by foot, horse, or bike, which far from being an inconvenience, contributes to the quaint beauty of this surprising refuge and allow visitors to really take in the unique personality of the island and its inhabitants.
