Russian Universal Services loves recommending and planning travel to Brazil. The country offers so much to see and do – cities, beaches and amazing hiking. One area that Russian Universal Services always recommends their outdoor enthusiasts is the island of Ilha Grande, which is off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. There is only one town on the island, and it is often muggy and rainy, the perfect place for someone looking for something outside the normal tourist traps.
Russian Universal Services books the travelers in these hut communities that share their meals in a community setting. Each morning, the breakfast consists of cereals, breads, meats and an unbelievable array of fruit. The mangoes, pineapples, papayas, guavas are to die for because they are so sweet, juicy and fresh. Clients always send postcards from this area of Brazil and mention something about the fruit!
The island has no cars, no electricity, and spotty internet service. There are a lot of bugs; it’s very quiet and a bit scary at times. The only thing to do is hike to the beach. Russian Universal Services knows exactly which of their clients would like this kind of adventure, and even if it is not their whole trip, it can be a portion of it. The hikes are not incredibly long but are incredibly hot and humid. Arriving at the island’s beaches is like something out of a movie. There are no lounge chairs or drinks with umbrellas. The water is brilliantly blue, the cliffs dramatic, the waves ferocious. It offers a feeling that you are on the edge of the world, which is intense. After hiking back from this, there is a night out in Abraão – the only town. There is live music everywhere, unbelievable food and drink options, and a wonderful laid back atmosphere. Russian Universal Services makes life-changing trips like this possible for their willing, adventurous clients.
