Review:
Ilha Grande is the largest island of Angra dos Reis, an archipelago of 365 islands in the state of Rio de Janeiro. This beautiful island has an illustrious history and some beautiful natural features, which visitors will love exploring, like the sweeping views from Pico do Papagaio, or the Castelhanos Lighthouse, which is one of the oldest in Brazil. At Lagoa Azul, snorkelers and divers can explore the clear waters to see dozens of varieties of tropical fish. Adventurers can hike through the jungle to the Cachoeira da Feiticera, a 50-foot-tall waterfall with a natural pool at the bottom, where they can rappel down the steep cliff’s edge and swim in the pool beneath the cascade.
