Tutóia travel guide
Getting there
Several daily buses to Parnaíba, last one leaving at 16:00, 3 hours R$25. One daily to São Luís. 4x4 pick up trucks for Paulino Neves, R$8, 1½ hours. These leave at varying hours, mostly corresponding with buses from Parnaíba, but the only one that seems to be guaranteed leaves at 10:00. There used to be a regular boat to Parnaíba, but no more. You can rent a motor launch for R$400, taking up to 4 people.
Do
There is a beach of sorts within walking distance.
Sleep
Several simple pousadas. A campsite just outside town.
