From Foz we ventured up the coast to the small riverside town of Paranagua. From there we headed out to Ilha de Superagui - which has only around 350 inhabitants (all of them fishermen).
Action packed days aren´t really what the island caters for - which made it perfect for us. Hardly any backpackers - long sandy beaches and nothing to do all day but swim , chat , play cards and enjoy the beauty of the place.
Superagui also gave me and Gina (what I think was) the most amazing experience of our trip. One morning we decided to go for a swim at the crack of dawn , with the sun shining and the sea a beautiful blue we began wading out into the ocean. About chest deep - we turned to see 3 wild dolphins swimming not six feet from us. These were not Disney World dolphins that do tricks for fish , they were completely wild. They stayed with us for about half an hour , checking us out , chasing fish around us and letting us admire them. Looking into a dolphins eyes is something neither of us is likely to forget. And luckily
for us - we managed to swim with them on a couple of other mornings as well - truly magical.
Praia Deserta (the deserted beach) is the longest beach on the island - 37kms of sand and sea - and nobody there. No ice cream salesman , no dodgy video arcades - Im sure you get the idea.
And that was life for a week , chilling and swimming with dolphins. Not bad really !
After the island we headed back to the tropically decadent Parangua for few days to ease ourselves back into the normality of life !
