After moving from one place to another, mostly big cities with millions of people and lots of concrete buildings, we needed a place to relax, to hear and feel the nature. So we headed to Ilha Grande, south of Rio de Janeiro.

Despite the cloudy weather with few short showers as well, we enjoyed it a lot: wild forests, greenish clear water, gold-sand beaches and…diving!!! We met some turtles, my beloved porcupine fish, the flying gurnard, the honeycomb cowfish and we saw beautiful multicolored corals. It was not our best diving experience but as the last one for the year we appreciated it to its fullest.
