Itacuruçá, Angra e Paraty
A scenic drive to the Green Coast south of Rio leads to the picturesque fishing village of Itacuruçá. This is the main boarding point for tropical island schooner cruises. Further down the Costa Verde is Angra dos Reis, a resort town spreading along the coast, facing some 365 tiny islands reflected in a crystal-clear sea.

An ideal spot for snorkeling and other watersports, this is a favorite weekend hideaway for boating fans. A slightly longer outing (249 kilometers) to the southernmost point of the Costa Verde leads to picturesque Paraty. Forgotten by the modern world, its lovely townhouses and cobbled streets still retain much of its colonial charm.
