3. Fernando de Noronha

Fernando de Noronha is a volcanic archipelago made up of 21 islands. Brazil’s Paradise on Earth with sparkling white sand beaches and glistening emerald waters.

 

4. Poco Encantado and Poco Azul

Poco Encantado is very commonly known as the Enchanted Well, and it is a treat for a Nature Tripper like you. It is a pool of crystal clear water within the boundaries of a cave. The sunlight coming through the little opening in the cave, and reflecting on its perfect water might even just inspire a beautiful painting!

5. Lençóis Maranhenses National Park

The literal meaning of the words ‘Lençóis’, meaning ‘bed sheets’, suddenly starts making so much sense while standing atop the breathtaking sand dunes of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park. Bluewater pools are formed in between these sand dunes. Therefore, the period right after the monsoons is the best time to visit this place.
It is the kind of landscape that will inspire the painter in you!
