Children under 18 years old and their parents should carefully review Brazil’s visa application requirements. The adjudicating official at the Brazilian embassy or consulate may require a birth certificate and notarized travel authorization from both parents to issue a visa to a minor.

Foreign travelers to Brazil must complete an immigration form upon arrival. This form will be stamped and handed back to you by immigration officials at the airport.

in or have recently traveled in a country where yellow fever is present. For children ages 3 months to 7 years, a polio vaccination certificate is required. Travelers should consult their physician 4 to 8 weeks before departure because some vaccines and malaria prophylaxis must be given several weeks before arriving in Brazil. Vaccinations for typhoid, hepatitis A, diphtheria and tetanus are recommended.


Food and drink restrictions: Tap water should not be consumed unless it has been boiled or otherwise sterilized. Avoid ice cubes as well. Bottled water is the safest option.

Climate


Angra Dos Reis & Parati have a tropical climate that is influenced by sea winds and the prevailing NE trade winds. The wet season is from June to September and the dry season from February to May. Average annual precipitation varies from 1,500 mm to 1,750 mm (59 to 68 inches) on the north and south coasts to 4,000 mm (157 inches) in the interior rain forest. The average temperature is 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) all year round.


Special sailing considerations while on charter: In general, sailing conditions in Angra dos Reis and Paraty are very quiet and do not experience major changes during the year. The prevailing wind is from the east with light breezes ranging from 8 to 14 knots, with flat seas without strong currents or significant tide variations, reaching maximum 1.20 m (4 ft).

In the warmer months (November–March), summer afternoon rainstorms are isolated, quick and fleeting with wind gusts reaching up to 25 knots but without significant change in the wave conditions. Winter cold fronts come from the southwest, and usually the wind (of up to 25 knots) subsides after the first day.

The cruising area comprises Ilha Grande Bay, the bay of Angra dos Reis, Paraty and Paraty Mirim. The wildest part of the area is outside of Ilha Grande, which has the most amazing white-sand beaches. On this side of the island, there is no mobile phone coverage.

Regarding overnight anchorages, the cruising area has many sheltered bays. There are few marinas that charge for docking. Before anchoring inside the bays, visitors must check the weather forecast conditions as, depending on the time of year, some of them may be subject to strong southwesterly winds.

All of the above conditions are fairly predictable when using the recommended forecast sources. However, due to the mountainous geography and the vast rainforest canopy, weather conditions in nearby areas may vary significantly.


Marina Facilities


Restaurants, hotel, Internet service, gift shop, dive shop, fax service, fuel and ice. Postage stamps are available at the base. Laundry service available locally. Telephones credit card or collect calling on site.
