The sand feels like walking on snow, the mountains create a fantastic surrounding and you you will experience monkeys comkeys coming down from the trees...fantastic!

Book a boat trip alone, 90 reais per hour , and go by all the beautiful beaches. Book in Angra! Green blue water, sandy beaches, colorfulmfishes, fascinating scenery. Plain white beaches seem dull after this view!

We took the 2 hour hike from our hostel in the village on Ilha Grande to Lopes Mendes Beach, which can be recommended. When we arrived it was an amazing experience.
