Fernando de Noronha is an archipelago with incomparable natural splendor.  Crystal clear waters that span kilometers create a wonderful contrast with the blue sky.  It is a favorite destination of both national and foreign tourists.  It offers various choices for accommodation in hotels and inns.  Some residents of the islands have designed their houses into convertible inns that create hospitable familial atmosphere.
The best time to visit Fernando de Noronha is December through February.  Bookings should be done much ahead of time as there are many tourists during this time of the year.  Once there, you will find yourself in the midst of vast, diverse natural displays preserved by government agencies,  NGOs and some foundations fully dedicated to the welfare not only of the archipelago but also its admirers from all over the world.

So, what will you see in Fernando de Noronha?
Baia de Santo Antônio – a favorite destination of deep sea divers who love to see wreckage underneath the sea.  Go there and see the panoramic views of the main islands of the archipelago.

Baía Sueste – another wonderful natural display to see corals near the coast with waters ranging from blue, green, gray and crystal clear colors.  The sea is calm and the waves are smooth.  It has historic significance owing to the Portuguese expedition that drove the Dutch invaders away in 1629.
