What to do and see in Ilha Grande, State of Rio de Janeiro (RJ): The Best Nature & Wildlife Tours

February 3, 2022 Christa Meece

So close to Rio de Janeiro, yet so different, Ilha Grande is Brazil’s relaxing, undeveloped paradise. Stepping off the ferry to the island is to disconnect from the outside world. No cars, no banks (bring your money!), no ringing phones. It’s all about relaxing in the sun, sailing, swimming, disappearing into spas and reemerging for fresh seafood at one of the 30 small restaurants.

Biotiful Travels

Helo! My name is Paula, I am an Argentine who lives in Ilha Grande with a son and husband included, which is no small feat. Most of my life I dedicated myself to gastronomy, but suddenly one day I came across this project, which is to have an inn in Brazil, I still want a restaurant, but for the time being I dedicate myself to the cleanliness of traveling around the world.
