Ilha Grande - day 4

We went for some trekking through the forest on the last day as well. This day we passed a natural pool and a waterfall on the way to Saco do Ceu, which is not another beach, but a bay with a small village.

There is a nice view of Enseada das Estrelas along the path.

Cachoeira da Feiticeira. 

I was jumping around on the stones, trying to see everything. Some of the stones turned out to be quite wet and slippery, which might not be so surprising next to a waterfall. I ended up falling anyway, while carrying my camera. All I was thinking during the fall was to not get the camera into the water and I realised what an idiot I was. Somehow I managed to save the camera and not get injured, so it wasn't too bad.

There were many beaches on the way, praia da Feiticeira, praia da Camiranga, praia de Pereque, praia de Fora, praia do Galo and praia do Conrado. They were all nice, but not incredibly amazing, so since I already put so many pictures I won't put pictures of these beaches. I also don't actually remember which beach was which, but it doesn't matter too much.

We got a visit from a big cruiser. 

Even in a small fisherman's village along the way, we found a football pitch. It might be a bit difficult to see, but there is a fishnet hanging all over the football pitch. We had to walk back the same way we came, and when we walked past the pitch on the way back the fishnet was down, so the football could start again.

The most common way to get around the island was by boat. I already mentioned that the roads between villages were only made for walking (even cycling would be very tricky). However, if you are rich and in a hurry you can also take a helicopter.

Sometimes the clouds came quite far down, which looks pretty cool.

Saco do Ceu

The tide had come in during our time in Saco do Ceu, which left some of the beaches we walked across earlier in the day submerged. We therefore had to take off our shoes three times on the way back. We kept putting them back on since the track was full of stones and tree branches. The bad part was that since we didn't think we would have to remove the shoes all the time, we cleaned our feet as good as possible in order to remove the sand, which otherwise might leave blisters on our feet. The worst part was that we found that we could have walked another path and completely avoided the sea and all the fight with the sand and the shoes, which actually did become a bit annoying after a few times.

There was a Finnish ice cream shop in Abraao. Unfortunately, it was being refurbished  when we were there.

There was a three dimensional map of Ilha Grande in a tourist information.
