With just one road on the continental side of the island, most locations on
Ilhabela can only be reached by
boat or by trails.
About 25 rainforest trails are located in the
submontane and
montane
altitudinal zone
between sea level and 1.300 height meters with walking times between 1 and 6 hours. They take you to mountain peaks, about 20 waterfalls and
natural pools and more than 40 deserted and semi - deserted beaches
(see
guided tours).
