sailing in Angra dos Reis

Me and my gal went to Rio in 2003 and met up with Jose, a personal guide, and had a great time. Besides a well knowledge guide Jose is also a sailor and took us on an incredible sailing adventure in Angra dos Reis. Angra is a short drive south of Rio and well worth the trip. Its often called the Caribean of Brazil. We stayed on this island not too far from the mainland. Fantastic seafood and homestyle service. Jose charted us a sailboat and took us to various beautiful locations like Ilha Grande and Paraty. It was awesome and definitely worth a second visit whe we go back to Rio next year. Jose was a great guide. He speaks fluent English and has a confortable van with AC. Jose also made sure we were charged fair prices for all our activities. All in all we had a great time and would strongly recommend Jose as a guide. His site is www.rioturist.com
