Fernando de Noronha Island

Fernando Noronha Island

          Brazil is internationally recognized for being a country with beautiful beaches and beautiful natural landscapes. What is the most beautiful place in Brazil? This is very difficult to answer, so I'll give my personal opinion. I know some interesting and beautiful places, and in my opinion the island of Fernando Noronha is the most beautiful place in all of Brazil.
 
        Fernando Noronha is located in the state of Pernambuco, on the northeastern coast of Brazil. Actually the island is the closest to Rio Grande do Norte state, but belongs to Pernambuco for political reasons. Fernando Noronha is an archipelago of 21 islands, the largest being 53km long.
 
        My trip to Fernando Noronha was with the Department of Geology of University of Minas Gerais. As part of the discipline of Igneous Petrographic we went there to study a bit more about how the island was formed. This is an island of volcanic origin. For10 days we were on the island, this was enough time to visit all parts of the island and be charmed by the beauty of the island. According to a reputable Travel Guide of Brazil, this island is among the top ten most beautiful beaches in Brazil. The first, second and third most beautiful beaches are in Fernando Noronha (1: Sancho`s Beach, 2: Bay of Pigs, 3: Lion Beach.
