Ensenada de Palmas, Ruta A Abrao

The last day of my ten day trip to Ilha Grande was quiet, enjoying the beaches and Pouso Palmas, which are on the way to Lopes Mendes from Abrao. The beaches that make up the bay are Grande de Palmas, Mangues, Pouso, Aroeira, Recife and Isla de Palma. In Las Palmas they still have the remains of cannons and ruins of the Ilha Grande era which was one of the strategic defense points of Rio de Janeiro. It was a pretty important town, but today it's a small settlement where they don't even have electricity. Palmas Beach has a campground that is very popular in the summer and small stores that sell drinks and sandwiches.
