Tourism Tax BRL 15,00

From November 1st, 2017, visitors to Morro de Sao Paulo pay BRL 15,00 as a visitation fee. It is the so-called TUPA tax or, better said, Fee for Use of the Historical Patrimony of the Archipelago of Tinharé.

Visitors up to 5 years and over 60 are tax free. Students and people with special needs pay half of the amount, BRL 7,50.

The ticket is charged on the arrival of the boat, at the guichê near the pier, just after the entrance door (Portaló), once only, per person and per stay. The receipt will also be given at the pier for boarding the trips around to the Islands. Anyone who has reached the island from another point (by plane or by the southern tip, crossing the river from Boipeba), and by a boat trip, will pay their taxes at this guichê.

It is not possible to get to Morro de São Paulo by car. There is no terrestrial access. Until some time ago, only the circulation of the garbage collector, transportation of materials and a few vehicles for distant tours were permitted. Nowadays there are vehicles that circulate along the parallel roads along the beaches, through Zimbo, Campo de Mangaba and Gamboa. The vehicles are not allowed to circulate on main roads (such as Rua Caminho da Praia or Fonte Grande).
