Take a boat tour around Ilha Grande (Volta Ilha)<\/h3><p>One of the absolute highlights of visiting the island is booking an Ilha Grande boat tour.

Both boat excursions take you to magically beautiful spots and idyllic bays that are completely inaccessible by land.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"5\">During a boat tour, you will visit highlights such as:<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"6\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Lagoa Azul (the Blue Lagoon):<\/b> A breathtaking natural lagoon with crystal-clear water.

Private boats usually leave early (between 08:00 and 09:00 AM), allowing you to beat the crowds at popular stops and customize your itinerary.\n\nBe sure to bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and snacks, as many of these remote beaches do not have any facilities. While you can occasionally buy a snack from a local vendor, you shouldn't count on it.<\/p><p><em>Want a sneak peek of what an Ilha Grande boat trip looks like?

Hike to the world-famous Praia Lopes Mendes<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Praia Lopes Mendes is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil. Located on the wild eastern coast of the island, this paradise beach is famous for its powder-soft white sand, crystal-clear turquoise water, and excellent surf waves. Because the beach is framed by the lush Atlantic Rainforest (Mata Atl\u00e2ntica), it retains a magical, untouched, and wild atmosphere.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Since there are no roads leading to the beach, there are three ways to reach Lopes Mendes Beach from Vila do Abra\u00e3o:<\/p><h4 data-path-to-node=\"6\"><strong>Option A: The Adventurous Jungle Hike (T02 Trekking Route)<\/strong><\/h4><p data-path-to-node=\"7\">The most adventurous (and rewarding!) way to get there is on foot. The official T02 hiking trail starts in Vila do Abra\u00e3o and is approximately 7 kilometers long, taking about 2.5 to 3 hours to complete. The trail leads you right through the dense jungle, over muddy paths, and past other stunning bays like Praia de Palmas and Praia do Pouso. It is a hot and challenging trek, but the breathtaking view of Praia Lopes Mendes makes it worth every single step.<\/p><h4 data-path-to-node=\"8\"><strong>Option B: The Taxi Boat via Praia do Pouso (Most Popular)<\/strong><\/h4><p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Want to experience the jungle vibe without committing to the full 7-kilometer hike? Take a flexboat (taxi boat) from the pier in Abra\u00e3o to Praia do Pouso. From this calm bay, it is a relaxed 10 to 15-minute walk along a mostly flat jungle trail over to the other side of the island where Lopes Mendes awaits.<\/p><h4 data-path-to-node=\"10\"><strong>Option C: Organized Boat Excursions<\/strong><\/h4><p data-path-to-node=\"11\">There are also larger, organized tour boats that drop travelers off close to the trail.

Discover the best hiking trails: Lopes Mendes and Pico do Papagaio<\/h3><p>Because Ilha Grande is completely car-free, the island is an absolute paradise for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The island features a well-maintained network of 16 official hiking routes (marked from T01 to T16) that connect the various beaches, local fishing villages, and eco-lodges.<\/p><p>Aside from the famous trek to Lopes Mendes, climbing <b data-path-to-node=\"6\" data-index-in-node=\"62\">Pico do Papagaio<\/b> (Parrot\u2019s Peak) is the most legendary hike on the island. Standing at 982 meters, it is the second-highest peak on Ilha Grande.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-4ad18be e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"11565\" data-id=\"4ad18be\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4ecf4d6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4ecf4d6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>4. Stroll through cozy Vila do Abra\u00e3o<\/h3><p>Vila do Abra\u00e3o is the bustling heart of Ilha Grande. The streets here consist entirely of sand and cobblestones. This is the main harbor where you will arrive by ferry, and it is where you'll find the vast majority of pousadas (local guesthouses), restaurants, lively bars, and boutique shops.\n\nThere is a wonderfully relaxed, bohemian vibe here. It is delightful to wander through the sandy streets, pull up a chair at a local eatery, and try a fresh, refreshing a\u00e7a\u00ed bowl while watching the boats bobbing in the bay.<\/p><p>The small boutiques are also perfect for a bit of shopping. Among other things, you will find authentic Brazilian bikinis and Havaianas flip-flops, essentials for a tropical destination like this. However, keep in mind that prices on Ilha Grande are slightly higher than on the Brazilian mainland, as almost all supplies have to be brought in by boat.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-91f988d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"81161\" data-id=\"91f988d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f07b0de\" data-eae-slider=\"60052\" data-id=\"f07b0de\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e40444 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2e40444\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"784\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/abraao-ilha-grande.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-62441\" alt=\"vila do abraao ilha grande beach\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/abraao-ilha-grande.jpg 500w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/abraao-ilha-grande-416x652.jpg 416w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/abraao-ilha-grande-191x300.jpg 191w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Vila do Abra\u00e3o on Ilha Grande<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-12ea768\" data-eae-slider=\"19456\" data-id=\"12ea768\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1fbad0b elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"1fbad0b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1014\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kerkje-in-Abraao-Ilha-Grande-tips.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-62442\" alt=\"Church in Abra\u00e3o Ilha Grande tips\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kerkje-in-Abraao-Ilha-Grande-tips.jpg 700w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kerkje-in-Abraao-Ilha-Grande-tips-600x869.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Kerkje-in-Abraao-Ilha-Grande-tips-207x300.jpg 207w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Little church in Vila do Abra\u00e3o<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-f6e7a22 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"15800\" data-id=\"f6e7a22\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a56b59a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a56b59a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>5. Rent a SUP or kayak on Ilha Grande<\/h3><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Ilha Grande is a dream destination for water sports enthusiasts. Thanks to the calm, crystal-clear coastal waters, you can easily rent a stand-up paddleboard (SUP) or a kayak at various spots around the island.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Along the beaches, especially in and around Vila do Abra\u00e3o, you'll find small rental shacks where you can rent equipment for a few hours. This allows you to explore the coastline at your own pace, discover hidden coves, and see the island from a completely different perspective.\n\nPrefer a bit of guidance? There are also organized SUP and kayak tours available, usually running as full or half-day excursions. Joining a tour allows you to paddle alongside a local guide who can show you calm stretches of water and hidden beaches you might otherwise miss.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-4cdd13e e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"11608\" data-id=\"4cdd13e\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-716b73f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"716b73f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>6. Relax on Palma Beach (Praia da Palma)<\/h3><p>What makes Ilha Grande so special is that, especially outside the peak season, you can still find secluded, quiet beaches. One of these hidden treasures is Palma Beach (Praia da Palma).\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"translation-block\">Praia da Palma is not only a beautiful beach to visit while exploring Ilha Grande, but in our opinion, it\u2019s also one of the best places to stay on the island. We spent a few nights at a charming pousada overlooking the bay, and the views were absolutely incredible. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/br\/pousada-toca-do-mar.en.html?aid=1543033&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pousada Toca do Mar<\/a><\/strong> is truly a hidden gem on Ilha Grande.\n\nOne of the things that makes this place so unique is that electricity is provided by generators that only run at night. During the day, there is no power. It might sound a little inconvenient at first, but honestly, isn\u2019t that exactly what island life is all about? Slowing down, disconnecting from the outside world, and fully embracing the relaxed pace of a tropical getaway.<\/p><p>Palma Beach is also home to the wonderful beachfront restaurant <strong>Morango das Palmas<\/strong>. Here, you can dine with your feet in the sand while watching a spectacular sunset. The restaurant is an absolute oasis of calm, featuring a lounge, terrace, and beach bar. Be sure to order the fresh catch of the day, the seafood here is incredibly good!\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-207224f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"26280\" data-id=\"207224f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8f78c5c\" data-eae-slider=\"31542\" data-id=\"8f78c5c\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa50377 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"aa50377\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palma-Beach-Ilha-Grande-1024x683.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-62434\" alt=\"Palma Beach Ilha Grande\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palma-Beach-Ilha-Grande-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palma-Beach-Ilha-Grande-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palma-Beach-Ilha-Grande-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palma-Beach-Ilha-Grande-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palma-Beach-Ilha-Grande.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Praia do Palma on Ilha Grande<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-78a8b6f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"88485\" data-id=\"78a8b6f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ec502fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ec502fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Where to stay on Ilha Grande: the best pousadas\u00a0<\/h2><p data-path-to-node=\"4\">Looking for a hotel or pousada on Ilha Grande?

data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\">Ilha Grande is a tropical island where traveling is slightly different than on the Brazilian mainland. Below, you'll find all the practical information you need for your visit, from transportation and cash matters to the ideal length of stay and the best time to visit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-5f88c24 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"36080\" data-id=\"5f88c24\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9aad094 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9aad094\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>How to get to Ilha Grande?\u00a0<\/h3><p data-path-to-node=\"5\">Since there are no airports or bridges connecting the island to the mainland, you can only reach Ilha Grande by boat. The central harbor where almost all boats and ferries dock is the main pier in Vila do Abra\u00e3o.<\/p><p data-path-to-node=\"6\">To make the crossing, you first need to travel overland to the Costa Verde region. Depending on your starting point (such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/en\/what-to-do-rio-de-janeiro\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rio de Janeiro<\/a><\/strong> ahead of time or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/en\/what-to-do-sao-paulo-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">S\u00e3o Paulo<\/a><\/strong>), you will choose one of the following three port towns to board your boat:<\/p><h4 data-path-to-node=\"7\"><strong>1. Concei\u00e7\u00e3o de Jacare\u00ed (the fastest route from Rio de Janeiro)<\/strong><\/h4><p data-path-to-node=\"8\">If you are traveling to Ilha Grande from the city of Rio de Janeiro, Concei\u00e7\u00e3o de Jacare\u00ed is by far your best and most popular option.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"9\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The crossing:<\/b> Fast flexboats (speedboats) depart from here continuously. You will step onto the pier of Abra\u00e3o in just 15 to 20 minutes.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Travel time:<\/b> From Rio de Janeiro, it takes about 2 to 2.5 hours by bus or shared transfer to reach this port.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h4 data-path-to-node=\"10\"><strong>2. Mangaratiba (geographically closest to Rio)<\/strong><\/h4><p data-path-to-node=\"11\">While Mangaratiba is geographically closest to Rio de Janeiro, it has a much less flexible boat schedule.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"12\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"12,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The crossing:<\/b> The large, official government ferry (CCR Barcas) departs from here. It is very budget-friendly, but it usually only sails once a day and takes a lengthy 1.5 to 2 hours.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"12,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">For whom:<\/b> Travelers on a tight budget whose schedules align perfectly with the ferry\u2019s departure time.<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h4 data-path-to-node=\"13\"><strong>3. Angra dos Reis (best route from S\u00e3o Paulo or Paraty)<\/strong><\/h4><p data-path-to-node=\"14\">Are you coming from the south, for example after visiting <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/en\/what-to-do-paraty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the colonial town of Paraty<\/a><\/strong> or traveling from the metropolis of S\u00e3o Paulo? Then Angra dos Reis is the most logical port.<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"15\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"15,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">The crossing:<\/b> From Angra dos Reis, you can choose between the larger, slower ferry or the faster flexboats to Vila do Abra\u00e3o.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"15,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Our experience:<\/b> We stayed in Angra dos Reis for a few days before visiting Ilha Grande. Since our accommodation (Pousada Toca do Mar) on Palma Beach has its own private dock, we booked a private water taxi that took us directly from the mainland to the pousada. This saved us an extra transfer in Abra\u00e3o!<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-ee274a3 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-eae-slider=\"17018\" data-id=\"ee274a3\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-831dffa\" data-eae-slider=\"58748\" data-id=\"831dffa\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4498b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d4498b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mooiste-stranden-ilha-grande-brazilie-1024x768.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-83244\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mooiste-stranden-ilha-grande-brazilie-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mooiste-stranden-ilha-grande-brazilie-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mooiste-stranden-ilha-grande-brazilie-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mooiste-stranden-ilha-grande-brazilie-16x12.jpeg 16w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mooiste-stranden-ilha-grande-brazilie-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/travander.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/mooiste-stranden-ilha-grande-brazilie.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Paradisiacal beaches on Ilha Grande<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-4734b92 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"86215\" data-id=\"4734b92\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-76e1b64 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"76e1b64\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>How many days do you need for Ilha Grande?<\/h3><p>The ideal length of stay for Ilha Grande is 3 to 4 days.

The island has a tropical climate, meaning a quick rain shower can happen at any time, but the seasons differ significantly when it comes to crowds:<\/p><ul data-path-to-node=\"4\"><li><p data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Shoulder season (September-October and March-May):<\/b> Our absolute favorite time. It is wonderfully warm, lush green, and peaceful. Ideal for hiking and enjoying empty beaches.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Peak season (November - early March):<\/b> The hottest period of the year, with temperatures often rising above 30\u00b0C. Tropical rain showers are common late in the afternoon.<\/p><\/li><li><p data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"4,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Low season (June-August):<\/b> The Brazilian winter. With temperatures ranging from 20\u00b0C to 24\u00b0C, it is a bit cooler, but it is also the driest period. Perfect for active hikers.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-b4b94e7 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"36578\" data-id=\"b4b94e7\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e98eab9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e98eab9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Tip: bring enough cash!<\/h3><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Make sure to bring plenty of cash to Ilha Grande. While there is an ATM on the island, it is notoriously unreliable and can frequently run out of cash or be out of order. Additionally, many small restaurants, beach bars, and local shops do not accept card payments yet. It is highly recommended to withdraw local currency (Brazilian Reais) on the mainland before you board the boat. Ilha Grande is a very safe destination, so carrying cash with you is generally not a problem.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-97931db e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-eae-slider=\"80928\" data-id=\"97931db\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0eb17c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0eb17c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 data-start=\"185\" data-end=\"353\">More travel tips for an adventure trip to Brazil<\/h2><p data-start=\"185\" data-end=\"353\" class=\"translation-block\">Want to combine Ilha Grande with other incredible destinations in Rio de Janeiro State?
