¿Sabías que aquí salvan tortugas que pesan como un hipopótamo bebé y que casi desaparecen del mapa?
The Visitor Center is open every day from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It is located next to Santo Antônio Port. Remember that to enter Fernando de Noronha you must pay the Environmental Preservation Fee in advance.
General admission costs R$ 32 (approx. €5.60) for adults. Noronha residents and children up to 12 years old pay R$ 16. Children under 1.20 m enter free. You can book on the official website.
The full visit takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour. If you want to see the turtle feeding, plan to be there around 4:00 p.m. (this schedule may vary).
It has been a vital center since 1984 for conserving species such as the green turtles that nest here. They have protected more than 25 million sea turtles in Brazil and work in research and environmental education.
High season (December to March) is best for seeing nesting, but it is more crowded. August to January offers dry weather. Mornings are usually less busy than afternoons.
It has ramps in the main areas and adapted restrooms, but some outdoor areas have uneven ground. Contact +55 81 3619-1274 in advance to confirm specific needs.
About 10 minutes away you have Boldró Beach (ideal for snorkeling) and Sancho Lookout. Also nearby are the historic center of Vila dos Remédios and the Dois Irmãos Hill trail (panoramic views).
Use sunscreen, bring water, and wear comfortable shoes. Non-flash photography is allowed, so bring a camera. Buy tickets online to avoid lines in high season. More info at: tamar.org.br
