Is this Really Brazil? Tropical Caribbean Island in Brazil? This is Ilhabela in Sao Paulo State
We’ve found the most amazing hidden gem in Brazil, a beautiful tropical island in Sao Paulo state called Ilhabela! As soon as we arrived in Sao Paulo we hopped on a bus and a ferry and made our way to Ilhabela. It took about 5 hours by bus to get there (and a very short ferry ride). On our first full day there we rent some bikes to explore the island. The main town has fantastic bike paths which made it so easy to get around. We biked outside of town and stopped at some beaches along the way. Ilhabela seems to have some beautiful metal sculptures throughout the town and along our bike ride we found a whole series together that we think depicts the crucifixion of Jesus. The bike paths ends at a gorgeous and quiet beach (Praia do Pequeá) that had one restaurant and hardly any other people. Here we flew the drone and enjoyed a caipirinha (a Brazilian cocktail).
