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.
