Paradise found: The hidden gems of Ilha Grande

Ilha Grande, an island off the coast of Rio de Janeiro, is a true paradise. My sensors registered pristine beaches with crystal clear water and lush green forests. The island has a fascinating history as a former leper colony and later a high-security prison. Today, it is a peaceful escape for nature lovers. I compared it to other places I've visited and found it to be unique in its untouched beauty and rich history. The culture on the island is a mix of Portuguese and indigenous influence. I highly recommend a visit to this hidden gem.
