Fernando de Noronha - Pernambuco - Brasil(5) - Fernando de Noronha Arquipélago_de_Fernando_de_Noronha_topographic_map-pt.svg|Map of the island}} The archipelago has never been linked to the mainland. Geologically, it is the tip of a submarine volcanic formation which rises out of the deep seabed and consists of one main island and several rocks and islets. The rocks form many natural aquaria and the underwater life is diverse. Because the reefs of the South Atlantic are isolated from the Caribbean by the outflow of the Orinoco and Amazon rivers and the reef communities are very different with many endemic species. Bathed by currents coming from Africa the waters around the islands are very clear with very good visibility even at 50 meters and have great year-round warm temperatures. Of course, you can also see the large “global” species such as manta rays, sharks, moray eels, goliath groupers, sea turtles and dolphins. The island is also home to one of the largest sea bird breeding colonies in the South Atlantic. Discovered by Amerigo Vespucci (1454–1512), Italian merchant and cartographer in 1503 and the archipelago is 4 degrees south of the Equator, around 200 miles off the northeastern coast of Brazil, north east to the city of Natal. During its 500 years history, Fernando de Noronha has been temporarily occupied by the Dutch (17th century), French (18th century) before Portugal established dominion in 1737. They built an extensive defense system of 10 forts. The largest and best conserved fortress is Nossa Senhora dos Remédios de Fernando de Noronha. The island also served as a prison and a US Army base. Today the population is around 3,500 and the main industry is tourism. As a unique ecological sanctuary, Fernando de Noronha is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a large part of the area is a National Marine Park. And it has the most wonderful beaches. Three (Sancho, Porcos and Leão) regularly feature in Brazil's top beaches list. Being a small island with limited water resources and a fragile ecosystem and there is a maximum number of 460 visitors allowed on the island. Visitors also pay an Environmental Preservation Tax that increases progressively with the length of the visit. The relative isolation from the mainland and the limits on visitors and the preservation make Fernando de Noronha an expensive destination. But the "happy few" will be well rewarded by the delights of thit island paradise and its fascinating underwater world.

-3.850|-32.423 The archipelago comprises 21 islands. Only the largest of them is inhabited (pop. 3,500), and visiting the other islands requires special authorization from the environmental authority, as they are protected areas of a National Maritime Park. There is one road that circles the main island and connects many of its attractions. It is feasible to hire a vehicle or a buggy for about US $50 - 70 a day depending from whom you rent. The easiest way to get around is by bus (R$ 2.85) which goes back and forth along the primary street from the Port on one end of the island to Praia de Sueste on the other.Another option is to hitchhike as almost all the local people and sometimes the odd taxi or dive truck will be happy to pick you up and give you a ride if you are going in their direction. If you choose to hitchhike, try and learn at least some Portuguese so you can tell them where you want to go and say thank you at the end of the ride.

Top Muslim Travel Tips for Fernando de Noronha

• Beaches - Fernando de Noronha is home to the top two beaches in Brazil - Praia do Leão Praia do Leão - GPS -3.87009,-32.43792 and Baía do Sancho. Both beaches offer crystal clear blue water with areas for swimming and snorkeling. If you decide to visit, it is a good idea to bring along your own provisions as well as an umbrella as there is no shade at Praia de Leão and the shaded areas of Baia do Sancho quickly fill up with other visitors.
• Boat tours
• Buggy tours
• Dolphin watching
• Diving - with visibility up to 50 meters, Fernando de Noronha is a Mecca for divers and snorkelers at any level of expertise. It has more than two hundred species of fish, five shark species, sea turtles and dolphins.

• Noronha Divers ☎ +55 81 3619-1112
• Águas Claras | ☎ +55 84 9647-8107
• Kayak tours
• Snorkeling - Despite what several of the travel guide books say, snorkeling at Praia da Atalaia is no longer unrestricted. If you wish to visit to see the tide pool, it is recommended that you arrive early as the number of visitors is restricted to 100 per day. The tide swimmingpool itself is about 18-24 inches deep but contains a remarkable diversity of animals. Lobsters, octopuses and numerous fish species inhabit the swimmingpool and, if you are lucky, maybe a baby shark. The tidal swimmingpool is monitored by the government of the island. If you choose to go keep in mind a few things:
• Visitors are not allowed to wear suntan lotion as the oils from the lotion will pollute the tidal swimmingpool (thit is another good reason to go early in the morning when the sun isn't too hot)
• You are only allowed to stand or put your knees down in a small sandy area in the middle of the pool. If you are not a confident snorkeler (i.e. capable of floating on the top of the water) then do some training at another beach before you go. They will remove you from the swimmingpool and you could be fined if you violate this rule.
• You will be limited to 25 minutes in the pool

• Surfing @ - For more info, please check with the local Surf Asstn at .
• Swimming
• Trekking - there are also many different trails to choose from, but some restrictions apply. Trails in the National Marine Reserve (Parnamar/FN) can only be visited with authorization and with accredited guides. Trails inside the Environment Preservation Area (Apa/FN) have free access.
