Ilha do Maciel Walk

Ilha do Maciel, located in the municipality of Pontal do Paraná, is a quiet and little-explored retreat on the Paraná coast, ideal for those looking for peace, unspoiled nature and caiçara cuisine.

Accessible only by boat, the small community offers trails, views of Paranaguá Bay and traditional restaurants, making it a peaceful alternative to the busier beaches.

Access is by boat crossing, departing from Pontal do Sul. The place stands out for its community-based tourism, strengthened with the support of IDR-Paraná, which values the local culture and the history of the region's fishermen.

The area is a setting for nature walks, especially the 10 km route that crosses local trails and landscapes.
