Itinerary
The schooner departs at 10:30 am from the Vila do Abraão port.

No wonder it was considered the 2nd Wonder of Ilha Grande. A snorkeling trip becomes unmissable in the turquoise and crystal clear waters.
Next stop is Freguesia do Santana, where the settlement of Ilha Grande began. In the seventeenth century was the center of economic development.You will see the Church of Santana, built in 1843, with whale oil and sand from the beach.

About Ilha Grande
Ilha Grande is a mountainous, car-free island off Rio de Janeiro state's Costa Verde, covered in Atlantic forest and ringed with beaches.
Ilha Grande rises from the sea near Angra dos Reis, its steep slopes still covered in Atlantic rainforest. There are no cars on the island: people walk, take boats and follow trails between villages. Vila do Abraão, the main settlement, has a pier, a whitewashed church and rows of guesthouses. A penal colony once stood on the far side, and the forest has reclaimed its ruins since the prison was demolished in the 1990s.
Top-ranked sights in Ilha Grande: Blue Lagoon (Lagoa Azul), Lopes Mendes Beach (Praia Lopes Mendes).
