Brazil: Ilhabela, Sao
Sebastião and Sao José dos Campos
Travel, Hotels
And Flights
Ilhabela Island is a top
attraction on the coast between Sao Paulo and Rio. Covered with
tropical foliage and with dozens waterfalls and excellent
beaches, Ilhabela is an highlight in Sao Paulo state.
Sao Sebastião is in front of Ilhabela, in inland. Regular
ferries depart every half an hour to/from São Sebastião
to/from Ilhabela (the crossing takes around 20 minutes).
Sao Jose dos Campos is the main city nearby (about 116
Kms / 75 miles from Ilhabela, while Sao Paulo is almost 200 Kms
/ 125 miles distant). Sao Jose dos Campos has its own airport,
assuring some local flights to Ilhabela.
Accomodation
Accommodation in Ilhabela is expensive, and scarce. Many
Paulistas and Sao Jose dos Campos inhabitants bet on Ilhabela,
booking early the few hotels. An alternative to accommodation in
Ilhabela is to stay in São Sebastião, in inland, and demanding
Ilhabela from there.
Take also into account the Brazilian summer period
(December-February). During it there are long queues and the
hotel prices are much higher and booking much more difficult.
Flights
Sao Paulo Guarulhos Intl. Guarulhos Intl is the main international
airport serving Ilhabela, S ão Sebastião or even Sao Jose dos Campos.
São Jose dos Campos has its own airport, with flights to Ilhabela, but its scope
is predominantly regional.
Transfers from the airport
There is - in Sao Paulo Guarulhos - a wide service of taxis and there are buses every few minutes to several destinations
including Sao José dos Campos, São Sebastião, and from here, to Ilhabela.
