Conquer Ilha Grande's iconic Pico do Papagaio (Parrot's Peak, 982 m) with a certified local guide. The summit rewards with jaw-dropping 360° views over the entire Baía da Ilha Grande and its 365 islands.
What to expect
A short ferry from Angra crosses to Abraão village on Ilha Grande, where your guide meets you for the 4–5 hour round-trip ascent through dense Atlantic rainforest. The trail passes rushing streams, howler monkeys, and exotic orchids before breaking into open rock near the summit. The panorama from Pico do Papagaio is utterly transformative — a vast tapestry of jungle, turquoise bays, and distant horizons.
Good to know
This is a moderate-to-strenuous hike; good trail shoes and fitness required. Allow 7–8 hours total including transfers — confirm this fits your port schedule. The ferry to Abraão (Ilha Grande) from Angra costs around BRL 100 return and departs regularly from the main pier.
