How to spend 3 days in Ilhabela, Brazil? | Aliz’s Wonderland

Are you in São Paulo or Rio de Janeiro and you are waiting for a weekend getaway?
Then let me introduce you the incredible island of Brazil called Ilhabela, which literally means “beautiful island”. Check out how we spent 3 days in Ilhabela discovering beaches, waterfalls and the jungle.

DAY 1 - GETTING TO ILHABELA FROM SÃO PAULO
From São Paulo we needed almost 5 hours to reach São Sebastião, where the ferry departs to Ilhabela. After the crossing, we checked in to our accommodation, Pousada Mirante da Praia Grande then headed to the beach, Praia Grande, located only a few minutes from the pousada.

DAY 2 - PRAIA DE CASTELHANOS TOUR WITH LANDPOINT TURISMO
On our 2nd day, we visited Praia Castelhanos, which is located on the eastern side of the island facing the Atlantic ocean.
The 4x4 vehicle of Landpoint Turismo tourist agency bought us to the beach through the jungle of the Ilhabela State Park. That 15 km road was shaky but amazingly beautiful and we had many stops like a natural pool and viewpoints. The 1,5 km long sandy beach of Praia de Castelhanos is one of the most beautiful in Ilhabela.

DAY 3 - WATERFALLS AND BEACHES
Our original plan was to attend a boat tour to Praia Bonete located on the southern part of Ilhabela. Though the weather wasn't that promising, so we decided to explore different parts of the island.
Cachoeira 3 tombos was around 5 minutes drive from our accommodation, so we left the car at the entrance of the trail, and started the 700 m long walk. The waterfall has 3 drops, all of them are beautiful and unique in their way and well connected with the trail.
After the waterfall, we attempted to discover other beaches like Praia Veloso or Praia Curral. The parking places close to the beach were overpriced, so we left the car at our free parking space of the accommodation and after 10 minutes of walking, we reached Praia do Julião.
This beach is smaller and more tranquil than Praia Grande. At its sides, big rocks can be found in the water, where many people were snorkelling and looking for fishes in the clean water.

DAY 4 - THE WAY BACK TO SÃO PAULO
After our last breakfast in Pousada Mirante da Praia Grande we checked out and on the way to the ferry station we stopped at a viewpoint called, Mirante do Piúva, where a huge “I love Ilhabela” sign is located.
Finally, we headed to the ferry station and said goodbye to Ilhabela.
