    Paqueta Island

    Posted by prole 15 September 2005

    Rio de Janeiro is at the entrance to Guanabara Bay. Ilha de Paquetá is an island further up the bay. No cars - horse-drawn carriages take you around the island. Lovely old colonial homes. A haven from the frenetic pace of Rio.

    From Estaco dos Barcas - the boat station by Praca Quinze in Rio - the ferry takes 75 minutes to Paqueta while the hydrofoil takes about 20 minutes.
