History of Ilha Grande

History of the Tour Ilha Grande by Schooner – A Tropical Paradise on the Brazilian Coast

Ilha Grande is one of the most stunning and preserved destinations in Brazil. Located on the Costa Verde in the state of Rio de Janeiro, this paradisiacal island is surrounded by crystal-clear waters and filled with beaches of unique beauty. With an area of approximately 193 km², Ilha Grande combines lush nature, rich history, and a peaceful atmosphere that attracts visitors from all over the world.

Origin of the Name

The name “Ilha Grande” is a literal description of its size. However, its history dates back to the time of Portuguese navigation in the 16th century, when it was first recorded as an important strategic stop. In the past, the island was known for its privileged location, serving as a refuge for explorers, traders, and even pirates.

History and Curiosities

Ilha Grande has played various roles throughout its history. It was once the site of a colonial sugar cane farm, later hosting a lazaretto (isolation hospital for contagious diseases) and, subsequently, a high-security prison, the famous Cândido Mendes Prison, which operated until 1994. After the prison’s closure, the island began to transform into a destination for ecotourism and environmental conservation.

Today, much of Ilha Grande is protected by preservation areas, such as the Ilha Grande State Park and the Praia do Sul Biological Reserve. These initiatives help conserve its rich biodiversity, which includes rare species of flora and fauna, as well as beautiful trails and beaches.

Natural Beauty

With more than 100 beaches, Ilha Grande is known for its breathtaking landscapes. Some of the most famous include Lagoa Azul, a true natural aquarium, and Praia do Aventureiro, with its iconic leaning coconut tree. The interior of the island also offers incredible experiences, such as trails that lead to waterfalls, viewpoints, and even Pico do Papagaio, one of the highest points in the region.

The Schooner Tour

The schooner tour around Ilha Grande is an unforgettable way to experience its beauty. Departing from Rio de Janeiro, visitors are transported to Angra dos Reis, where they board a comfortable schooner for an entire day of adventure. During the journey, you can explore paradisiacal beaches, swim in crystal-clear waters, and admire the lush vegetation of the Atlantic Forest that covers the island.
