Arquipélago Abrolhos

Brazil’s first national marine park, this is another protected region in the south of Bahia, which was visited by Charles Darwin in 1832. It is preserved because of its clear waters, beautiful corals and diverse marine life. It’s not permitted to stay on any of the park’s five islands, so the only approach is by boat.


Bonito, Mato Grosso do Sul

This place proves you don’t need the sea to go diving. It’s a popular tourist spot, because of the network of rivers and caves there. These contain lakes where you can scuba, many of which are unexplored.
