the island is rich of
pousadas, so it is possible
to find accommodations, even without planning ahead.
many cultural events are held on the island, and
carnival in paquetá is quite animated, with local blocos and
many parties.
unlike its larger neighbor
governador island, there is
no bridge leading to paquetá, and the only way to access it is
by boat.
ferries leave the dock at
praça 15 approximately every 2-3 hours, and the distance between
the shore and the island can be covered in around 70 minutes.
