Pinheiro Island or Island of the parrots:

As night falls the parrot "red tailed Amazon" or “Chauá” (Amazona brasiliensis) fly to Pinheiro Island to dwell for the night. You can watch these birds arriving from all directions on the island. It’s an unforgettable view! You go from the inn to the island by boat and you stay silently on the boat to watch the parrots. The access to the island is forbidden because this island is part of the National Park.
Duration of the trip: about 1 1/2 h
