Departure to the boarding point begins around 8:20 AM, with exact times varying depending on your location. After boarding the motorboat, we navigate the river for approximately 40 minutes until reaching the village of Vassouras.

During the rainy season, the area features deep lagoons perfect for swimming, but the main attraction is the playful capuchin monkeys. From there, we continue by boat to the village of Mandacaru, where you can climb the Preguiças Lighthouse for a stunning panoramic view. The area also offers local craft shops, traditional caipirinhas, and exotic-flavored ice creams.

Lastly, we head to Caburé Beach, a unique sand peninsula with the river on one side and the sea on the other. Lunch will be served at one of the beachside restaurants—please follow your pilot’s instructions. The return journey typically begins around 2:30 PM, with arrival back in town expected at approximately 3:30 PM.
