There is an absolutely unforgettable island
lost in the jewel colored Atlantic, off the coast of Brazil
It is an amazing Archipelago, fringed with jungle...
Fernando de Noronha

as a matter of fact, to maintain the islands integrity and beauty,
only a certain amount of people are allowed to visit per day.
There are more spinner dolphins and sea turtles than people on Fernando de Noronha.
The result: its 16 immaculate beaches, set between craggy sea cliffs and the volcanic rock formations emerging from translucent waters, are virtually deserted.
Nearly everything and everyone on the seven-square-mile main island is geared toward preserving Noronha's abundant marine life and land species.
There are a couple of Pousadas (Inns) that were built
in peace with this eden of an island...

Pousada Maravilha (you must visit their site...oh!)
has only 8 bungalows,
simple...but
beautiful![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcXCtRa7Y3gJ3OMZFv4wGG8nwoY7rEgHjIFn_2WwIKboOTIIet1o1Ywyjn_IFLlXQc0WFuxdnqo580PyRkY2sBkpJGqLAC55nrhWkCA_Lzb7sPEyMean1ccdrnPkAcznnaq5_qqx9Sfw/s400/teju1.jpg)

We had planned on visiting this elusive beauty of an island this past spring, when we were
in Brazil. It wasn't in the cards for us....that time.
