The largest island along Brazil's coast and, literally, a “beautiful island,” Ilhabela offers visitors almost 40 kilometers of pristine beaches and a tropical island's worth of hiking trails, waterfalls and even a nascent party scene. At 207 kilometers from the city of São Paulo, Ilhabela can get crowded, so try to get your beach time in during the work week.

We stopped in to see this cute colonial church while on a port of call stop here. The outside is nicely maintained in white with blue trim. The church was built about 210 years ago and is considered the gem of the city. It is located about 2 blocks from the cruise ship tender dock in the heart of town. BOTTOM LINE: There are about 50 steps to negotiate going up to the chapel from the street level. The church name means "Princess House" and inside are various statues of Mary on the walls, alter and painting on the ceiling. The view from the church entry level is beautiful. Most of the city tours stop here as a part of their tours. The alter is uniquely lit in blue light which add a 3-D look to the high alter. There is a small gift shop of Catholic items to the right inside the chapel. It is not a Cathedral but a simple place to worship. MY RATING: 7/10
