Fernando de Noronha - Paraíso Brasileiro
The Fernando de Noronha Archipelago is formed by the top of a mountain range of volcanic origin, whose base is at a depth of around 4,000 metres: the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
There are several ways to get there: daily flights with the airlines GOL, LATAM and Azul, as well as sea transport with the transatlantic liner Blue de France, which only operates during certain seasons, usually from October to February.
