Geocache Description:


This cache is a regular cache located in Parnaoica (Ilha Grande, Rio de Janeiro).
You can take a boat from Mangarativa to Vila do Abrao in Ilha Grande for 5 reais/person every day.
In Mangarativa Harvour you can buy some snack (salgado) in the bakery that you have in front where you take the boat. And also, buy some staffs to fish next to the bakery.
Once you are in Vila do Abrao you can take 1 trial until Parnaioca. The trail is very well signed. The trail is about 16 km walking and you can stop in the middle of the trail in one place called Dois Rios and have a really nice lunch.
In Parnaioca you will find a very good beach to relax, rocks to fish, camping do Silvo to stay (20 reais/ day. also if you dont have tent Silvio offers you for free while you are there), Marta's restaurant (there's no supermarket there, so the only way to eat something is bringing something from out of the island and cooking in the camping or going to this small and nice restaurant), church, cemetery and one way to cachoeira (waterfall where the cache is hidden).
In the cache there're a correios pin, lost earring, chile coin and hotel soap. It's a very nice trip and i suggest to stay there for at least 3 days, i think that less than that doesn't worth it.
And after you can come back for the same way or you can take another way taking another boat from Parnaioca to Angra dos Reis for 50 reais.
Don't think more, go and enjoy!!! :) 

ATTENTION!! In Parnaioca there's no 3G or internet signal.
