Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
This archipelago and nature paradise was discovered in 1503 by the Portuguese explorer Amérigo Vespucci and a few scattered remains of the early Portuguese fortifications still exist - Forte dos Remédios is one of them. Apart from the thousands of migratory birds that stop off at the island on their way south, the waters surrounding the island are filled with hundreds of playful dolphins, turtles, multi-colored fish, corals, sponges and other marine plants. It is no wonder, therefore, that Fernando de Noronha is considered the best place for scuba diving and snorkeling in Brazil. As well as excellent underwater activities, Fernando de Noronha is also the mecca for Brazilian surfers who come to ride the 2 meter (6 feet) waves (sometimes reaching as high as 5 meters or 15 feet) on the sandy beaches facing Brazil´s Atlantic coast. Horseback riding, mountain biking and walking to some of the remoter beaches is also popular. The Morro do Pico is the highest point on the island at 321 meters (1,053 ft) and offers a splendid view of the archipelago, especially at sunset. The island has warm and pleasant temperatures of around 26°C (79°C ) all year round.
