Highlights
Perfect hike for nature and history lovers, this all-day experience is filled with Natural Pool, Beach, Atlantic Forest, Ruins of the past, and a Delicious Local cuisine. Dois Rios Beach (Two Rivers beach), is considered by many one of the most beautiful beaches of Ilha Grande, it has one river on each end of the beach, surrounded by stunning mountains and with fine white sand and clear turquoise sea. The paradisiacal landscape and attractions along the way are more than enough reasons to hike to Dois Rios, but Dois Rios Village is much more than just a breathtaking beach, this Village has a past full of history, scene of numerous events from colonial times when it was a farm until most recently when it hosted for many years a high-security Federal Prison. On the local today, we find the Museu do Carcere (prison museum) where is possible to learn the history of this famous prison and visit some permisses. Dois Rios is with no doubt one of the must-see places in Ilha Grande

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).
