Description
R$37 for a regular car. Leaves between 7-16 h every hour. Last ship leaves at 4pm.
Don't forget that there is a time difference between Argentina/Uruguay and South-Brasil of one hour! If you go up north coming from Uruguay set the clock one hour forwards and take that in mind trying to catch the ferry (and not like us)
From December 2019: ticket is 37 real, only cash, no time difference... Not sure about schedule and if last ferry is really at 4 PM.
:-)
Why? By checking in after you’ve visited a place you let others know this place is still functional. You can also add or correct any information.
Latest Check-Ins
The first ferry we were in line for had a card reader and was prepared for us to pay with card. We weren’t able to get on that ferry, so we waited for the next. The second time around they asked for cash, so we paid cash! Easy boarding process. Nice people. Ran on the hour while we were here.
PS: The peninsula road is pretty, but not necessarily scenic until golden hour in the northern parts. The road is paved, but quite wavey / bumpy. It won’t cause major delays, but in hindsight, we would have opted to save some time and take the 116 instead
