Antiga Fabrica no Abraão Antiga Fabrica no Abraão 1/2 < back Sardine Factory Ushizuke Nakamashi landed in the Port of Santos in 1915, where he worked for some time as a longshoreman. As a custom of the time, the wives of Japanese immigrants came from their homeland and only knew each other through photography. Dona Shingue comes from Japan to marry Ushizuke Nakamashi. Around 1930, Ushizuke Nakamashi visited Ilha Grande Bay, noticed a large quantity of sardines and decided to explore the fish at Bananal Beach. When he arrived at Bananal, this small community had family farming as its main economic activity. Fishing was occasional, in canoes or on the coast. Ushizuke then became known as João Nakamashi and his wife, Maria Nakamashi (it was common among immigrants to adopt Brazilian names to facilitate communication). João starts his business, industrializing sardines to sell to the Japanese colony in São Paulo. The fish was smoked to be consumed in soups. After some time, the sardines are salted and canned. The family grows, with their children Iwauo, Hiroshi, Sakae, Benedito, Maria Esmeralda and Getúlia. ​ The Sardine Factory is built, the children help with the work. The eldest son Iwauo Nakamashi, and his wife Fuzie Nakamashi, take the venture forward and build a new factory, larger and with modern machinery. The height of activity took place in the mid-60's and 70's when records point to around 20 buildings around the island operating in the activity. The largest and most important of them was located on Matariz beach, where its ruins can still be seen. ​ At the end of that decade, the family's finances went through a serious crisis and his brother Hiroshi Nakamashi left his son Paulo to take care of the family and came to the island to help brother. Two years later, he returns to São Paulo and Kiyoshi Nakamashi, better known as Preto, comes to help his parents. Preto still worked with sardines, but in the mid-1980s the activity was no longer sustainable, due to strict inspections, a decrease in the supply of fish, competition from other regions of the country and new Environmental Laws. In 1987, the Nakamashis, pioneers in sardine exploration, closed their doors. In the 1990s, Preto and his wife Noriko, who had 3 children: Roberta, Diego and Rafaela, began to receive visitors from São Paulo through friends and relatives on the premises of the old factory. The old Sardinha Factory then begins to transform itself into a Pousada. _cc781905-54cbb-bad-cf58d_581905-5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ Old salting tanks turned into bedrooms, beds are made of bamboo. The Pousada do Preto appears, a great spot for young people who ventured into a destination still little explored. Even on those trips, many couples met, are now married and still frequent the place responsible for the beginning of their romance. The last factory to be closed was that of Matariz in 1992, when the activity at the site was completely stopped. ​ Text: Nakamashi family Bibliography: http://voznativa.eco.br/?p=1094 < Lazaretto Presidio >

1/5 < back Two Rivers Prison Em1884 ,D. Pedro II started the construction ofLazaretto , openedtwo years later . The institution served as a temporary shelter for travelers arriving from Europe contaminated by thecholera . Like the passenger ships, the landscaped building was divided into first, second and third class pavilions. It also had a warehouse for cargo and luggage, a bacteriological laboratory and a pharmacy.[two] The first Penal Colony was created in 1903, next to the village oftwo rivers . Prisoners convicted ofcrimes common. disabled on1913 , the Lazaretto was only used again in1939 , as accommodationMarines . In1940 , the former hospital became the Cândido Mendes Penal Colony and received the prisoners who were in the Dois Rios Colony. This, in turn, began to receive political prisoners who were previously inFernando de Noronha - at the time, ceded as a military base to the United States, as part of the Brazilian effort toSecond World War . Among those arrested by the Estado Novo was the writerGraciliano Ramos , who recounted his passage in the autobiographical novelMemories of Prison . On1954 , the Lazareto building was demolished by the governorCarlos Lacerda , and ordinary prisoners were transferred to the Dois Rios Colony, which was renamed Instituto Penal Cândido Mendes (IPCM). The prison continued in operation until 1994, when it was deactivated by the governor.Leonel Brizola and imploded. Na1970s , criminals imprisoned in the IPCM created the Falange Vermelha, a criminal organization that would later become theRed Command . The founders were the drug dealersRogério Lemgruber andWilliam da Silva Lima , the Professor, in addition toJose Carlos dos Reis Encina , the Escadinha. During the period many escapes happened causing fear to residents in several villages causing them to leave in several places, especially Parnaióca beach, where they were more constant hostages, the village was one of the largest villages on Ilha Grande, where today it has only a few residents, not more than 5 families. Famous escapes like the one on the ladder happened there, where the criminal fled by helicopter, in a cinematic escape. Also there was the famous madam satã, a criminal from Lapa who killed his victims only with a razor.

praia meros meros 1/3 < Beaches Meros Beach Praia dos Meros is one of the few beaches that cannot be hiked or reached by foot, it is only accessible by boat, and is one of the beaches on the Volta a Ilha tour. . A sensational beach with clear water, and great for diving for all levels of divers, from the most inexperienced to professionals. There, it has been the scene of many spearfishing diving competitions de , the place had a large concentration of Mero fish, so much so that it received the name Mero. Its coast starts with shallow waters and can reach great depths in a few meters from the beach. The beach is right after Ponta dos Dragons, the busiest point of the island, and there may be days when boats avoid crossing there, and there is no access to Aventureiro beach. The beach was also used a lot by pirates, who surrounded vessels leaving paraty9 35b-78-debb90_cc195cbb-de -136bad5cf58d_towards Europe. A beach that is really worth a visit for those who have a little extra time to be on Ilha Grande. < Adventurer Test tube >

Grumixama Grumixama 1/10 < Beaches Grumixama beach Praia de Grumixama is a beach with very clear waters similar to the visibility of Lagoa Azul and the coastline on both sides of the beach is perfect for snorkeling , it is almost always possible to see a sea turtle, despite the constant traffic of boats, the turtles still live peacefully in the locality, the beach itself has very white and soft sand, the place has a magnificent sunset, even because At this time of sunset, the beach is almost always empty, and while many other beaches are shady and without sun, there the sun is burning the view that it is almost impossible to look at the horizon. People who visit the beach should always take a walk along the rocks, because there are always spectacular photos, both for the beach side and for the beach side. sea. Although the beach is small and gets quite crowded during holidays, it is possible to enjoy the beach and you have the right (who looks at the sea) there is a little beach that almost never has anyone on the beach. The beach doesn't have a name on maps, but I usually say it's called Bonzai beach, because on top of a rock grew a tree that looks big, but has a very small size. At high tide the beach is almost without sand, and at low tide a good strip of sand appears. On very hot summer days, it is ideal to escape the sun, as the beach has a lot of shade and almost always has an umbrella to hide from the sun. ​ < Praia de Baixo Lagoa Azul >

Proveta Proveta 1/3 < Beaches Beaker Proveta Beach is the second largest village on Ilha Grande with its majority of evangelical residents, despite having one of the largest populations on the island, you can see the tranquility of the place, with the silent streets and the very hospitable people. The predominant local activity in the place is fishing, with several large fishing boats, but tourism also has a good share of the local activity. To get to the test tube beach walking, you can come by Araçatiba beach, which is a 2-hour trail with a medium difficulty level, or by Aventureiro beach which is considered the most difficult trail on the island, with a very steep climb considered the steepest climb of the trails on the island. The view of the arrival of the trail from Aventureiro to Proveta is sensational, for those who want to take a walk around Ilha Grande, you have to go through this wonderful beach and this challenging trail. < Meros Acaia Grotto >

Lagoa Verde Lagoa Verde 1/4 < Beaches green lagoon Lagoa Verde is the ideal place to take a dip in calm, crystalline waters with a large number of fish, and it is common to see turtles at the far end of the boats. The place is very popular with tourists and is at a point where you can easily pass from the side facing the long side and the side facing Araçatiba. With a small strip of sand, where at high tide it is completely covered, but the most common thing is to be on a boat and the tourist is either on the boat or on the speedboat. The place got its name because it has green corals, and the water is normally green in color, and with a great depth in visibility. In the village of Abraão it is very common to find tours that follow this route, which can be done by speedboat or Taxi Boat the name of the pass that makes this script is theU turn because on the tour the tourist can get to know almost the entire north side of the island. This is a tour that everyone visiting Ilha Grande should do, however if you have a fur group least 6 people, the advice is to take the Taxi Boat tour, so they can determine how long they stay in each place, and the places they prefer to stop. Our advice is, if you go to that place, dive to the side facing araçatiba, or point that goes to Praia da longa, in these places it is possible to do a deeper dive, see different types of marine life, such as turtles, seahorses, and other types of fish other than sergeant, which is the fish that has the most quantity in these places facing the north of the Island. < Araçatiba Praia da Longa >

1/5 < Beaches Praia de Baixo Praia de Baixo also known as Freguesia de Sul, the beach that faces the Blue Lagoon, however it has a connection with the parish of Santana that with a trail It takes only 5 minutes to cross from one beach to the other. Baixo beach has an old pirates cemetery, which is closed and abandoned, however it is possible to see the tombs from the gate. The beach is very popular, especially during the holiday season, where schooners and taxi boats stop, many of which leave tourists there after passing through Lagoa Azul and find tourists on the beach of Freguesia de Santana. Antes o local tinha um vilarejo onde foi comprada por uma propriedade privada e agora it is not possible to go inside between the two beaches, and the trail is being followed by a detour that also takes very little time from one to the other. < Bananal Bay Grumixama >
