Hey!!
On my second last day on the sweet Ilha Grande I decided that it's time to do the hike across the island with only one destination in mind.. Lopez Mendes, one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil.
The path started from near the village and I was informed that it should take aroun 2-3 approximately to get to the other side. As the path crosses the whole island it was a great opportunity to see the jungle!!
The weather was sunny with little clouds when I started to once I was in the jungle you could definately start noticing the moisture and heath on your skin. Luckily I was prepared with big bottle of water and not too many clothes so it was not too bad but still sooo sweaty! :D
I followed the little path and on the way I've seen so many tropical trees and plants. Everything was very green and full of life. The path starting mounting up to the hills as there are so many of them on the island and this was real exercise in the heath! But once I got on top of the hill I knew it was worth the sport because the view was just breath taking postcard like view to the sea.
On my way I crossed few almost stranded beaches with amazing views. I went for my trip alone so it was feeling like a real adventure crossing the jungle and suddenly stepping out to a empty beach.
I was listening the noises in the jungle on the way and also spotted few birds, lizard and lots of big blue butterflies! Such a meditating time to relax and enjoy the environment.
I will save the pictures of the destination for the next post so now you can enjoy just being on the way with me!!
