Next stops were beaches going south to north:
Camburi: lovely beach 3hrs from Sao Paulo, not really on the backpackers´route but recommendable. Check into the only hostel (ETM Hostel), Lucas and Denise will welcome you like family!
Ilhabela: worth exploring if you like bugs. They have a monster mosquito called borrachudo, nasty bites. Apart from that nice beaches, nice waterfalls.
Paraty: Colonial cobble-stone historic center, beaches are just a boat-ride away. I was not too lucky with the weather, though.
Arraial do Cabo: 3 hours north of Rio de Janeiro, carribean-like beaches with surprisingly cold water. Apparently great for diving. Pretty crowded during holiday season.
Saquarema: my great favorite - enormous beach, great surf, well-kept hostel run by a lovely old couple (Itauna Hostel), not crowded. Spent all my time out in the waves, they were just perfect!
