The Ilha Grande is an island in the state of Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Prison island of the military government in the 20th Century. Therefore uniquely preserved rainforest. The climate on the “Costa Verde” – Green Coast offers plenty of natural moisture to the green. Atlantic Rainforest (Mata Atlântica) dominated the vegetation. Monkeys and Jacarés (crocodiles) are difficult to see. Monkeys, however, make much noise and can be heard daily. Before the crocodile warning signs only.
