Fernando de Noronha has solitude in spades. This 21-island archipelago sits well into the Atlantic, 360 km (223 miles) from Natal, 545 km (337 miles) from Recife, and 2.600 km (1.612 miles) from the African coast. Adding to the solitude are the strict rules imposed by the Brazilian Environment Ministry: 70 percent of the archipelago is National Park, and the number of visitors may never exceed 420 at any given time. Only the main island, Ilha de Fernando de Noronha, is inhabited, and most times, it's full; around Christmas and New Year’s, would-be islanders often wait for days for a spot to open up. What lures people to all this splendid isolation?

An island ecosystem in all it's tropical glory. Verdant mountains descend to sheer cliffs, which in turn fall onto wide sandy beaches that have known neither condo nor cabana. Beneath the waves float coral, fish, manta rays, and lemon sharks. It's the best dive spot in Brazil, and one of the better ones in the world. And then there are the spinner dolphins. Early in the morning, in a bay named, appropriately, Baía dos Golfinhos (Bay of Dolphins), spinner dolphins gather in pods of more than 1.000 to frolic and spin in the morning sunshine. Come afternoon, they set off on a daily circuit around the main island. The archipelago is also known as a surfing hot spot and for the sea turtles that lay eggs on the beaches facing out towards the Atlantic.
