RIO DE JANEIRO - BRAZIL
Excursions and activities in Rio de Janeiro

ANGRAS DOS REIS
As soon as all enrolled voyagers are seated, our air-conditioned coach sets a south-westerly course for Angra dos Reis.

One of the world's most beautiful highways leads to this resort town. We drive along the Costa Verde (Emerald Coast) and witness the mountains touching the sea. On our right side the savage beauty of forested mountains passes by; and, undoubtedly, hundreds of islands with sun-baked beaches that are the most spectacular in Brazil turn our heads - to the left side.

Some 150 kilometres (93 miles) distant from the city of Rio de Janeiro, we find a small port on an enormous bay facing some 365 tiny islands - one for every day of the year according to popular belief. Angra dos Reis is said to have been founded on 6 January 1502 (Dia dos Reis - Day of The Three Kings). Its calm waters and the natural ports and coves allowed safe passage to the Portuguese ships that came to transport sugar, and later gold, to Europe.

A schooner waits for us to take us for a trip around the bay. The natural beauty that envelopes the islands seems to herald paradise. On one of its 365 islands we go ashore and should not miss the opportunity to cool off in the crystal-clear sea. Some powerful strokes give us an appetite ... the ideal prerequisite for enjoying a copious buffet-lunch on one of the islands featuring some of Brazil's culinary highlights.

Although another hundreds of islands and its secluded beaches wait to be explored, the hour has come for us to say farewell and to return to the mainland. Savouring the lovely memories of our stay on these treasure islands, we follow the roads back to Rio de Janeiro.
