ILHA GRANDE Surrounded by more than a hundred paradisical beaches, walking trails and beautiful waterfalls, Ilha Grande is the largest island in the Ilha Grande Bay and a true ecological sanctuary. The bottom-of-the sea keeps many shipwrecks, a testimony to hidden treasure and pirate raid stories, all part of the local folklore. Nature is an open invitation to water sports and long walks in many woods in the region. Quarantine structures were built in the area (1886) to shelter visitors and immigrants coming from cholera plagued countries. The building, called the "Lazareto", was demolished in 1902 to give place to a penitentiary, a high security "Tropical Alcatraz". It was located in the 1980's. It's now open to public visitation. Vila do Abraão, the island's main locality has an infrastructure that provides visitors with good lodgings, boat rentals and scuba diving gear. | |
