Exploring Ilha do Mel: A Paradise in Brazil

After waking up in Paranaguá and having a great breakfast at the port, we took again the boat.

Here some details about Ilha do Mel by ChatGPT:

Ilha do Mel, in Paraná, Brazil, is a pristine island known for its stunning beaches, ecological preservation, and relaxed atmosphere. Accessible only by boat, it has no cars or paved roads, maintaining its natural beauty. The island features attractions like the Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres, a historic 18th-century fortress, and the Farol das Conchas, a lighthouse offering panoramic views.

Here we are, approaching Ilha do Mel.
This is the island. We approached it from the side of Praia do Farol.
This side of the island is not crowded. It is still very rustic and beautiful.
Look at the things we found along the way.
Beautiful nature.

After spending some time at this beautiful place. We took the boat again and went to the other side of the island. Encantadas beach.

Now let’s go to Praia das Encantadas.
This is a crowded beach with lots of parties and restaurants. We enjoyed a great lunch here.
Look at the vessels passing by the island and going to the harbor in Paranaguá.

As you can see, the weather is not good. We decided to head back to Paranaguá to escape the storm.

Mangrove everywhere on the way! Beautiful nature.

My grandfather Antenor organized this trip so that me and my cousin Monique could enjoy the beautiful places of the state he and my family come from. It was an amazing trip!!!
