On the Costa Verde of Rio de Janeiro, closed trails, uneven terrain, and unpredictable weather create a true physical and mental test in one of the country's most preserved territories. In 2026, Ilha Grande will play a central role in the circuit by hosting a qualifying stage for the XTERRA World Championship.

Getting to Ilha Grande is part of the experience ✨
This unique destination is a true natural escape, no cars, no airports, and a beautiful boat ride as your final step.
From Rio de Janeiro:
The fastest and easiest way is to travel to Conceição de Jacareí (~2.5 hours) and take a speedboat — you’ll arrive on the island in just 20–30 minutes.
From São Paulo:
The most common route is via Angra dos Reis (~6–8 hours), with several boat options to the island.
Nearest airports:
Galeão (GIG) and Santos Dumont (SDU)
Your final destination is Vila do Abraão, the vibrant heart of Ilha Grande.
Tip: booking a combined transfer (car + boat) makes the journey seamless and stress-free.
