If you are looking for a vacation filled with excitement, exhilarating nightlife, with the allure of breathtaking surroundings and charismatic people, and then retreating into tranquility and rejuvenation, you are looking for a trip to two of Brazil’s most attractive cities: Rio de Janeiro and Ilha Grande. Get ready for the trip of a lifetime, and step into paradise!
Set between rainforest-clad cliffs and the sea, Rio de Janeiro is recognized as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is known to the Brazilians as “Cidade Maravilhosa,” The Wonderful City. With a multitude of colors on every corner, you will be taken aback by Rio’s splendor and charm. From the legendary Carnival to stores filled with infamous Brazilian gems such as tourmaline, rubies, garnets, and sapphires, one can find what they need to indulge their fantasies. Be a part of Carnival’s 2006 festivities February 25-28 in Rio, then hop on a local boat and escape to the island of Ilha Grande for a week of rebuilding your senses from the inside out.
With irregular, jagged coastlines and the shelter of heavy vegetation, pirates would frequently use Ilha Grande as a place of refuge after pillage at sea. With only 5% of the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest remaining, Ilha Grande is one of the last sanctuaries which hosts one of the richest ecosystems on the planet. This unspoiled paradise is home to 106 white sand beaches and 56 waterfalls along with multiple caves and rivers. The Brazilian Government protects it as a wildlife reserve, so you will experience nature at its finest. The only modes of transportation available are by boat, on foot or by bike. Spend your time on the island at Body & Soul Adventure, a life-changing adventure spa, and you will not miss the luxuries of city life but take pleasure in the awe-inspiring surroundings.
Rio de Janeiro and Ilha Grande is the perfect combination for the perfect vacation. Very few places in the world match the hospitality and natural charm Brazil possesses. Experience the sound, rhythm, tranquility and amazing scenery of this South American country, and get ready for an experience like no other!
