at a glance | the island has been a popular short-range getaway destination since rio's days as a colonial capital, and today many of the houses and farms from that era have been preserved through paquetá 's designation as a cultural environment protection area. transportation around the island is exclusively non-motorized and the roads remain unpaved, for exclusive use by horse-drawn carriages, horses, bicycles, and pedestrians. for couples, families, or anyone wishing to escape the city for a day, the opportunity to trade the sounds of cars and motorcycles for birds and cicadas is a welcome change of pace. | beach attire | |||
