Buraco do Galego, Natural pool in Fernando de Noronha, Brazil
The circular natural pool measures 3 meters in diameter and depth, formed by volcanic rocks on the eastern coast of the island.
This natural formation emerged from ancient volcanic activity that shaped Fernando de Noronha archipelago millions of years ago.
Local guides share knowledge about marine life and tidal patterns while leading visitors through the natural pool's geological features.
Access to the pool depends on low tide conditions, with recommended visiting times occurring three hours before and after the lowest tide point.
The pool's circular shape and transparent waters allow visitors to observe multiple species of tropical fish in their natural environment.
