About this experience
The tour starts at 08:30 am, when we will board one of the famous speedboats to start the tour along the Preguiças River.
The stretches on which we will sail along the river are also very interesting, as it is possible to appreciate the fauna and flora on the banks of the river, such as streams, mangroves, buritis, Pé de Juçara, tucunzeiros and also birds such as sandpiper herons.
The first stop will be in the community of Vassouras, where we will be able to walk through the dunes and drink a refreshing coconut water. We return on the voadeira ride towards the town known as Mandacarú.
There we will visit a lighthouse 35 meters high that will provide us with a spectacular view of the river and its mouth, the sea and the intense vegetation of the region. Leaving the iconic lighthouse, we head towards our last stop, the community of Caburé.
This small village is divided by the waters of the river and the sea, which is a perfect option for those who want to swim and cool off.
