Ilha do Mel Tour

At 7 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Curitiba and drive to Pontal do Paraná by minibus.

After an hour and a half we'll get off the minibus and board a boat that will take us to Mel Island, our final destination.

We'll skirt this island in the bay of Paranaguá and disembark at the base of Morro das Conchas. From here, we'll climb some 200 steps to reach the lighthouse built by order of Pedro II of Brazil in 1872. We'll learn about the history of this site while enjoying the views.

Afterwards, we'll walk to a local restaurant for a typical lunch. You'll have three hours of free time to take a dip, sunbathe, and visit the island's craft shops.

You can also visit the fortress of Nuestra Señora de los Placeres, an 18th-century military construction significant for the island's defense.

Finally, we'll return to the boat and drop you off at your hotel at 7 pm.
