Ilha Grande is a nearly undeveloped island off the coast of the Rio State of Brazil. It was first used as an entry point for slaves, then a leper colony and eventually a political prison. In 1984 the prison left and tourism began. Since it was a place no one wanted to go before then, it is nearly undeveloped and is a nature lovers dream. There are no cars and the only way to get around is to hike or boat.
