Kayaking through mangroves in Paraty, an old colonial coastal town.
We took this picture when we found a rare break in the jungle canopy. Behind us is Seco do Seu, one of the many bays at Ilha Grande.
The chef in the kitchen, beer in hand.
Saying hi to a monkey on Sugar Loaf. They're more like squirrels in Brazil.
Cloudy sunset from Sugar Loaf.
On the ferry to Ilha Grande after the 5 AM bus from Rio. Clearly we'd had a long day of travel.
After a day of being lazy on the beach, we opted to take the ferry back to town and skip the 2 hour hike through the jungle.
Jungle river pic.
At the top of Ilha Grande's highest peak. The island, like much of Brazil, is covered by a dense green canopy.
Hanging out on the dock.
Ocean kayaking to mud baths. They were more like sludge swamps out of a horror movie. Lesley had a minor panic attack at about knee deep. Not quite as relaxing as it was advertised. Paraty in the background.
A view of Abraao village, the main town on Ilha Grande, from Parrot Peak.
The tide came up on the hike back.
Found this guy cleaning a rug from his house. Not a bad place to take care of some house work.
A bit tired after the hike to the top.
