Ah, Noronha! How often do yearn to hear that name and dream to go there and then just giving up because of the high price of this paradise? Starting with the trip, since to reach the island you need to go through Recife, Natal and Fortaleza. Off the cost of permanence. The island charges a preservation per day for each person, which will increase as time that visitors stay.
Yes, the island is expensive, but nothing that you can not afford. Doing a search price airfare, accommodations and using your imagination you can save up to 30% if you do the tours on their own and use the facilities of the hostels to cook (some of them offer this facility). Believe - the trip worth every penny spent, and the island just returning the change ... well, the change will be a memory for life.
The privileged nature, deserted beaches of white sand, turquoise waters, lush mountains and underwater fauna Fernando de Noronha are one of the most coveted of the planet for tourism.
Travel to Fernando de Noronha means entering another world, to see dolphins, snorkel in clear waters, enjoy deserted beaches and admire nature's most beautiful island in the country, and break, and go to forrós maculelês that happen almost every night in Vila dos Remedios.
Its 16 stunning beaches grouped into two sides: the Sea Inside, facing the continent, and the Sea Outside, facing the ocean, where the sea is more agitado.As high waves from the beaches of Bode Boldró, the Cacimba Father and Quixida attract surfers and international championships. Already Sancho Bay is a favorite of divers. Many natural pools are formed at low tide. The largest of them is the Watchtower Beach.
The sea that bathes Noronha is among the richest Brazilian marine fauna and its visibility (especially in the quieter months such as September) is so impressive that we hardly believe that is many meters deep. Even off the boat you can see the precipice below. Therefore, you can not think of Fernando de Noronha without thinking about diving. Go to Fernando de Noronha and not diving is losing more than half of the beauty that the island has to offer. The waters that reach 50m of visibility, are an invitation to discover this stunning ecological paradise. |
Even non-fans of the dive just succumbing to the beauty of the seabed and professionals looking to take the course. With only two classes in a pool and a class of baptism in the sea, if approved, the aspirant can have the membership card of PADI (Professional Association for Dive intructors) and gives to accompany the class diving, always monitored by competent instructors.
There is a plethora of programs for fun and enjoy the most of the island in the morning, afternoon and evening. Between beaches, diving, hiking trails, historical ruins, pools, horseback riding, luais (feast by the sea, in the light of the moon) and the ballads in Vila dos Remedios. The order is not to miss anything!
The basic tour, Which almost everyone does, is the boat ride, where the Possibility of crossing with the dolphins is the large que at the certainty one can dive with Them because (thank God) Prohibits IBAMA. To admire the dolphins (but remote) need to go very early to the viewpoint of Dolphin Bay, or, with luck, They will come to you During a dive, or Appear out of nowhere watching the boat.

Only 500 meters walk separates the two beaches most beautiful of Fernando de Noronha and most probably the most beautiful Brazilian coast: SANCHO AND BAY OF PIGS. Sancho's Beach is a wonderful and Praiao desert near the iconic stones "Two Brothers ", which is accessed by a ladder in a rock crevice. Since the Bay of Pigs (separated from the beach by a volcanic rock Sancho) despite little sand has a visually mesmerizing and is the high point of the tours to the beaches. |
ATALAIA: BEACH MARKED WITH TIME
The most spectacular natural pool of the island is the beach Watchtower. It forms at low tide and dam fish, moray eels, lobsters and other sea critters in only 30 inches of water, the range of shades of tourists and the sights of IBAMA inspectors. The beach of the Watchtower is the only one in Brazil that have an appointment to visit. Every day, IBAMA inspectors enact the time of the visit and the number of people who can visit you, depending on the tide and the maximum time allowed for each visitor, which is 30 minutes. |
