Fernando de Noronha
A paradise for dolphins and giant turtles, as well as many other maritime species, Fernando de Noronha offers one of the most beautiful landscapes in Brazil - thanks to its clear ocean waters and their different colors, in tones ranging from emerald green to deep blue. The entire region is blessed with hundreds of schools of fish, including tuna, barracuda, and Brazilian species such as dourado, cavala, bicuda, and xereu. Skindiving and harpooning are made easy by the transparency of the waters, but hampered by the existence of sharks.
Attractions
At Pico Hill and Alto dos Dois Abracos - the two highest points of Fernando de Noronha - enjoy beautiful panoramic views of the island and surrounding waters.
Additional points of interest include Santo Antonio Bay and Southeast Bay; Cacimba do Padre - an absolutely deserted beach - with the purest waters in the archipelago.
From Goat's Rock, you may watch the movements of sharks, either isolated or in groups - and a simply fantastic show presented by the dolphins at Dolphin Cove.
Food
Great seafood dishes are the specialty at the local restaurants, such the Nascimento and the Restaurante Ecologico, however Italian past is also found at Trattoria di Morena or a barbecue dish at Tartarugao Boldro. Good and a strong, sweet coffee, or cafezinho, can round out your meal.
Currency
The Brazilian currency is the Real(hay-ahl),R$.
