The entire island of Ilha Grande is covered in Tropical Forest, a forest of lush an varied vegetation. There are plenty of trails for you to hike and explore. You can walk for miles through this rich jungle, which provides a cool atmosphere, sheltering you from the hot sun. It’s abundant with monkeys, colorful birds, beautiful lookout points, exuberant fauna, coves, and waterfalls where you can take a refreshing dip. Bring your own water, as there is no one who sells it along the way. Enjoy a picnic with your loved ones at one of the tables and benches along the way. Tropical Forest is truly a sensory experience with all the colorful sights and interesting sounds provided by the monkeys and the birds.
