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).
