Rio de Janeiro state, Southeast Brazil

Ilha Grande trip itinerary

A car-free island based at Vila do Abraão. Three nights fit Lopes Mendes, the Blue Lagoon by boat and a short trail — hikers stay longer.

Free, no sign-up, with priced flights, stays, activities and cultural events.

How many days
3 nights is a good measure
Best time to go
April to October is drier and better for trails; summer is hot with late-afternoon rain.
How to get there
You fly into Rio de Janeiro (GIG or SDU). From there it is about 2h30 by road to Conceição de Jacareí, Mangaratiba or Angra dos Reis, then a boat to Abraão.

What to do in Ilha Grande

  • Lopes Mendes beach
  • Blue and Green lagoons
  • The Abraão loop trail
  • Aventureiro beach

Tip: Check the time of the last boat before picking your flight: arrive late and you sleep on the mainland.

Cultural events in Ilha Grande on your dates

What to do in Ilha Grande changes week by week: concerts, plays, festivals, fairs and exhibitions that only happen on certain days. When it builds your itinerary, GoGoTrip gathers Ilha Grande's cultural listings from local sources — culture and tourism sites, theatres, venues and local profiles — and shows, day by day, what is on while you are there, with time, venue and price when the listing states them.

  • An event confirmed by two independent sources is shown as confirmed; one from a single source is flagged so you can check the date.
  • One tap adds the event to the day at its set time — and the rest of the day arranges itself around it.
  • Venues publish their listings a few weeks ahead: for distant trips you see what is running long-term, and the rest comes in as the date gets closer.

Your itinerary, on your dates

This is the big picture. GoGoTrip builds the real Ilha Grande itinerary: it looks up flights from your city, stays and activities with prices, gathers the cultural events happening on your dates, arranges them by day and measures the travel time between stops. Then you swap whatever you like, comment and share it with whoever is coming along.
