Preservation tax and port tax of Morro de São Paulo

Visitors must pay a island preservation tax of R$ 10 at arrival, regardless of how long they plan to stay at Morro de Sao Paulo. The funds are used primarily for waste disposal. When leaving the island, there is a R$ 0.62 tax at the port, unrelated to the preservation tax. This tax is related to use of the docks, and it is also collected at the Gamboa, Atracadouro and Valença ports.
