Getting There

Boat
To reach Ruínas do Lazareto from mainland Brazil, you first need to travel to Angra dos Reis, which is the main gateway to Ilha Grande. You can either drive or take a bus to Angra dos Reis from Rio de Janeiro or São Paulo. If you choose to drive, take BR-101 (Rio-Santos highway) and follow the signs to Angra dos Reis. If taking a bus, several companies offer services from both cities to Angra dos Reis. Once in Angra dos Reis, head to the terminal where you can catch a boat to Ilha Grande. The boat ride typically takes about 30-40 minutes. You will want to purchase a ticket to the Abraão harbor, which is the main port on Ilha Grande.

Walking
After you arrive at the Abraão harbor, disembark and follow the main path leading into the village of Abraão. Ruínas do Lazareto is located approximately 1.5 km from the harbor. You can follow Av. Nagib Mamed de Queiroz, which runs parallel to the beach. It is a straightforward walk, and you will see signs directing you toward the ruins. The walk will take about 20-30 minutes. As you walk, enjoy the beautiful scenery of the island and the local shops and restaurants along the way.

Taxi Boat
Alternatively, if you prefer not to walk, you can hire a taxi boat from the harbor that can take you closer to Ruínas do Lazareto. This option is more expensive but quicker. You can negotiate the price with the boatmen at the harbor. The taxi boat can drop you off near the ruins, and you will only have a short walk from there.
