Ilha Grande: Brazil’s Last Island Paradise

Ilha Grande, on Rio de Janeiro’s Costa Verde, is one of those places that feels almost unreal.

The island stayed largely untouched until 1994 because it was home to a maximum-security prison for decades. Even earlier, it was used as a quarantine station for people arriving in Brazil by ship. Ironically, that history is a big part of why nature here is still so well preserved.

Today, there’s a small village with great restaurants and cozy guesthouses, but no cars. Most of the island is still wild, and many of the beaches can only be reached by boat or after hours of hiking through the Atlantic rainforest.

Easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen. 💚💛

Só tem roupa feia pra comprar!!! Eu preciso de uma calça básica!

Sem contar que uma calça para uma jovem de 16 anos é mais que 300 reais!

Vocês mudariam de assento por causa de uma criança?

Vocês trocariam de lugar para se sentarem longe de bebês e crianças? Pagariam pela remarcação se fosse necessário?

Eu achei a proposta da JAL interessante, assim a pessoa sabe mais ou menos o que esperar e vai se preparando psicologicamente.

Uma observação: nunca tive problemas com crianças durante voos longos, mas com grupos de adolescentes bagunceiros, sim.

What does AMA mean on Reddit? What is it used for? I only discovered it today and now I'm intrigued.

Magdalena loves flip-flops!

My cat is obsessed with rubber flip-flops, and I think it's the cutest thing ever watching him play with and frantically bite all the Havaianas. I probably already have an entire hard drive full of photos and videos of it. Hahaha.

PS: Magdalena is a boy! :D

Account restored, but comments and posts are still invisible

Hello!

My account was suspended for a few days and was restored yesterday. Unfortunately, my old posts and comments are still invisible to other users.

Does anyone know if it's possible to recover them? I'd really appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you so much! 🙏

Account unbanned, but comments and posts are still invisible

Hey everyone!

My account was mistakenly suspended by one of Reddit's filters, but after appealing, it was successfully restored. Unfortunately, all of my previous posts and comments are still invisible to other users.

It's a bit sad because I had some genuinely good interactions and discussions that seem to have disappeared.

Does anyone know if it's possible to recover them? If so, how can I do that?

I'd really appreciate any help. Have a wonderful weekend! 😊
