Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Blue Lagoon is one of the most frequented tours in Ilha Grande. Shallow, calm and blue waters, excellent for floating and snorkeling.

It is simply one of the most charming places in the state of Rio de Janeiro! Who goes, no regrets!

Simple and quiet beach, is surrounded by large rocks and preserved native forest. It's small and cozy, great for those looking for a good place to rest. With a good strip of golden sand, it has calm and transparent waters.

It is a very beautiful and pleasant beach as it has many palm trees and crystal clear waters, from its port side has access to the Parish Church of Santana
This church is one of the most important religious historical monument of Ilha Grande. Built in 1843 in place of an ancient chapel from the time of discovery.
The Parish was an important industrial and agricultural center of the seventeenth century with large fields of sugar cane, coffee, vegetables and cereals as well as sugar mills and burning water.
In front of it we see an imperial palm from the time of the empire of Brazil and next to and behind a graveyard with tombstones dating from two centuries ago.
A little further north we have the very small beach called Funil beach and there are many lovers there. No more than two boats fit and the waters are very calm and transparent.

Lunch is held on Japariz Island, in a rustic beachside restaurant with a very tasty food.

Enjoy a 15-minute lunch stop on the boat trip and discover the interesting nearby Funil beach.
