Where is Ilha Grande?

How to get there

From Rio de Janeiro: Ferry connection from the mainland to the island can be taken from Mangaratiba or Angra dos Reis. From Rio you can take a bus from the Novo Rio Rodoviária (bus station)to both ports. Busses leave frequently, approx. every hour. The trip with the bus company ~Costa Verde~takes approx. 2 hours and 40 minutes to Angra dos Reis, and about 2 hours to Mangaratiba, and has toilet on board.
Getting off at the Angra dos Reis bus station, the easiest is to take a taxi to Cais da Lapa, where the ferry and nearly all other boats to Abraão, Ilha Grande go from. It’s about 3 km from the bus station, so on a hot summer day it can be a bit too much to walk with a suitcase or a heavy backpack.
From Sáo Paulo: It takes approx. 7 hours with bus.
From Belo Horizonte: Takes approx. 10 hours with bus
