    Supposing you had only one day to visit Noronha (that would be very sad...hehe), i think the best option for you to spend you day would be the promenade from Praia do Bode to Sancho. All you have to do is take a pair of shoes in a plastic bag, your snorkel, your watch for not to forget about coming back =P some water, sun protector and of course, your camera loaded with film!!! Itīs a wonderful walk along the beach, where you will be able to see the water in all shades of blue possible, and the strangiest rock formations.
    Apart from the shoes (since you will have to walk inside the hill when you get to baia dos Porcos) donīt forget, if you are going on your own to infrom yoursef about the tide during that specific season, so that you donīt have to swim your way back or wait for the tide to be low again...
    After crossing Baia dos Porcos (=Pigīs Bay : P) youīll reach a trail that will go up the hill, and itīs not hard...it leads to a spot where you will be able to see the bay from above and the two almost identical little mountains called Dois Irmãos (=Brothers) right in front...thatīs the most famous postcard view of the island =)))))

    I got this map from http://www.noronha.pe.gov.br/eng/ (you can download a better resolution there)...itīs a very good site...they also have information on the preservation tax and a list with the prices in reais (brazilian currency).
    There is another nice homepage with lots of info...itīs called Fernando de Noronha Online

    That is something you really canīt miss!! Take the boat that goes along the whole side of Mar de Dentro, at 6:00 AM or 6 PM, and youīll have the chance to see the golphins making their journey either to the shore (early in the morning), or to the open sea(at dawn). To communicate, the leader usually jumps off the water...thatīs why they are called "rotators", the most common species in the island.
    And who needs Seaworld? =P

So, to maintain its natural beauties untouched might be difficult for visitors who are not informed about its preservation laws. For that reason it is very important to highlight some tips so the visitors can be able to enjoy the island as much as possible".

    Baia Dos Porcos has a unique beauty,because its geological aspects:vulcanic dark stones,forming the mountains,and a deep light green water.
    The rich coral reefs around this beach is strictly protected,it's forbiden to swin or dive in this area,you can only observe the sea from the hills.

    Fernando De Noronha was my first diving place,and,as a first time of everything,every single fish,or reef,or whatever moved in the water,was a lifetime undescrible meeting.
    But,definately,the meeting with this turtle was my my best memory!
    The green turtles from the archipelago are protected by a special national program called TAMAR,the professionals who work in this project,monitorize the habitat and life cicle of the turtles,and,most important,they close the beaches during the time the females are covering the eggs in the sand,and further,when the small young turtles make their traject from the sand to the sea,in their very first swin!!!

    Everyone who remember his first dive,know what I'm talking about..

    The archipelago has 21 small islands,16 beaches,some of them coming from vulcanic acidents,and have beautiful natural polls as a result.
    The islands are the top of a submerged mountain,4,000m depth.
