Transfer to Angra dos Reis
This morning, a vehicle will be arranged for your transfer to Angra dos Reis. Located around 300 kilometres west of Rio de Janeiro, the BR101 highway follows the Costa Verde, a region known for its lush coastal scenery. Here, the forest covered mountains of the Serra do Mar slope down to meet the sea, creating a series of bays, inlets, and islands. The largest of these is Ilha Grande, known for its clear waters, quiet beaches, and diverse wildlife. The island also has the remains of an old prison, adding an interesting layer to its natural appeal. From the coastal town of Angra dos Reis, both Ilha Grande and parts of the Serra do Mar are accessible. Angra itself is a useful base for those looking to explore the surrounding area or take a boat out to nearby islands. The road continues along the coast to Paraty, a small and well kept town around three hours from Rio, known for its colonial era buildings and relaxed pace. The drive to Angra is scenic, with plenty of views along the way, making it more than just a transfer. It is also a chance to enjoy one of Brazil’s most picturesque regions.
