Fernando de Noronha Pernambuco, Brazil
Fernando de Noronha is a beautiful archipelago, or island chain, boasting pristine beaches, landscapes, and wildlife.
Situated off the northern coast in Brazil, Fernando de Noronha was discovered by Amerigo Vespucci in 1503.
With only the largest of the 21 islands being inhabited, the archipelago is a haven for divers and snorkelers because of its year-round warm waters and clear visibility.
