Ilha da Queimada Grande
Brazil
Brazilian island. It lies in southern Brazil, where winters are genuinely cold and summers are the high season.
Why visit: Fernando de Noronha's protected reefs and turtles, and the forested island coasts off Rio and Santa Catarina.
- ›Book flights and beds early for Fernando de Noronha — visitor numbers are capped
- ›Budget for the environmental preservation fee, which is charged per day
- ›Dive or snorkel; the water clarity is the reason to come
- ›Take cash — island card machines are unreliable
