Angra dos Reis: What to see nearby?
What our travellers think of their stay
A coastal favela town south of Rio, Angra dos Reis is the site of the only nuclear power station in Brazil. It is also the departure point for boats to Ilha Grande.
My suggestion
I went there twice (to catch the boat to Ilha Grande) and I didn't find anything to like about it. Spend as little time there as possible!
Though Angra dos Reis was once a large port, today it's an essential place to visit in order to reach the islands that lie all around it.
My suggestion
If you have things to buy, take advantage of the chance to do it in Angra as it's really the only town where there is plenty of choice available. Make sure you don't forget to take sunblock, a hat and water with you on your excursions.

My suggestion
No need to stay overnight there, as the Costa Verde has better and cheaper options elsewhere.
