Getting to Morro de São Paulo by Car
If you want to get to Morro by car you first must consider that the island itself does not allow motorvehicles anywhere on the island. For that matter there are no roads on the island itself.
The closest you can get by car is a town called Valença. There you need to leave your car at one of two parking lots.
From there you can take a speed boat - which takes around 30-40 minutes - or a regular boat - which need around 1:30 hours. The speed boat costs 14 R$ where the regular boat costs 7R$. There are boats leaving every full hour. The last boat leaves at 6 PM.

By Ferryboat:
Take the ferryboat from 'Terminal Marítimo de São Joaquim' to the island Itaparica (There you will arrive at Terminal 'Bom Despacho'). It takes around 45 minutos.
