Sweet experience
It was with a little hesitation that I got on the boat to the Ilha do Mel [Honey Island], which I took in Paranaguá, a one and a half hour tour through the mangroves near Paranaguá, but when I sighted the island, I realized that my misgivings were unfounded. Hotels were not in sight, only vegetation and a beautiful lighthouse at one end of the island. As we landed, I realized that the only vehicles on the island were two-wheeled metal carts powered by humans, which were used for carrying suitcases to people's lodgings. Those of us who had backpacks did not wait. After a little exploration in the nearby places, which were almost empty, I chose one to stay in because I saw the beach from my window and it was about 20 feet to the water.
Pure heaven! The whole island is surrounded by beautiful beaches, such as Praia do Belo, Praia Grande (perfect for surfing), Praia do Miguel (almost deserted) and Praia das Encantadas.
