Abrolhos Marine National Park, Marine national park in Bahia, Brazil.

The park spans 883 square kilometers of ocean, protecting coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass meadows surrounding five volcanic islands in northeastern Brazil.

Charles Darwin documented the biodiversity of the Abrolhos Archipelago during his visit in 1830, recording various species of birds, lizards, and spiders.

The Instituto Chico Mendes de Conservação da Biodiversidade manages this protected marine environment to maintain the South Atlantic's richest marine ecosystem.

Visitors can access Siriba Island through a 1,600-meter trail, while other activities include diving near coral formations and observing humpback whales from boats.

The park contains mushroom-shaped coral formations called chapeirões, reaching heights of 25 meters and spanning up to 300 meters across their tops.
