Ilha Grande


You arrive to this paradise island by catamaran and as soon as you jump off, many people are waiting to offer you accommodation so for us it was stress free finding somewhere to stay. The island is stunning and so green, the village in which we stayed had sandy streets and was lined with restaurants and cute shops. The first two days of our stay, unfortunately it rained, but we didn't let that stop us booking a boat trip to various lagoons around the island where you can jump off the boat and snorkel.

Our third day on the island was gorgeous so we did a 2 and a half hour hike through the forest to Lopes Mendes said to be the most beautiful beach in Brazil. The sand was like talcum powder that crunched under foot as you walked.
