Ilha Grande: If you're looking for escapism then Ilha Grande should be top of your list. This tropical island has no cars or ATMs so don't expect 21st Century convenience, but what it lacks in amenities it more than makes up for in pristine beaches and untouched rainforests. The island's Lopes Mendes beach, a secluded cove of turquoise waters, has deservedly won a place on many a ‘world's best beaches' poll. Miles of jungle trails snake around Ilha Grande promising the opportunity for hours of exploration if your legs are up to the challenge. The island's chequered history is also worth investigating; visit the Museu do Carcere at the site of the former penal reform centre to discover the Ilha Grande's not so tourist friendly past!
