Thanks to its UNESCO status, Baía de Sancho is protected from commercial development and mass tourism. Located in the Fernando de Noronha archipelago, off Brazil’s northeastern coast, the few visitors who do make it are thinned out even further by the precarious approach—a cliff-side descent down a series of ladders. The water thrives with marine life, from live coral to manta rays to dolphins.
