Beach-hop on Brazil's Fernando de Noronha
BRAZIL // In one of the most beach-blessed countries on Earth, this volcanic archipelago still stands out. Flung more than 350km (220 miles) off the coast, its 21 islands are a playground of parakeet-green hills, diamond-bright sands and waters aswim with sea turtles and dolphins. With water too warm to require a wetsuit, it's a diver's playland. Everyone else can spend their time toasting on the beaches and hiking amid the crumbling Portuguese forts.
