Trilha Dois Rios x Caxadaço

The trail from Dois Rios to Caxadaço Beach, section 15 of the Official Ilha Grande Guide, is one of the wildest and most technical sections of Ilha Grande. Unlike the wide roads, here the path is a "real trail": narrow, overgrown with vegetation, and with rugged terrain. Caxadaço Beach is commonly visited on the "Round Island" boat tours, making the trail an alternative for adventurers. You will be in one of the most preserved areas of the island. The sound of the forest is intense, and the humidity is quite high. Prepare to jump over logs, pass under trees, and step on many roots. On days after rain, the mud makes the path very slippery. The trail ends at one of the island's most mystical beaches. Caxadaço is a tiny cove (about 15 meters of sand), hidden behind enormous rocks, which served as a refuge for pirates and slave traders in the past. Be sure to climb the high rocks on the beach. The view of the open sea crashing against the rocks is spectacular.
