Paraty, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Ilha dos Cocos takes its name from the coconut palms that line the island's shores. The island is linked to Ponta de Fora on Ilha do Algodão by a large rocky shelf just below the waterline, which calls for care when navigating.
Around the island, fish and corals are easy to see. On the sheltered side of the island there is a cave that makes for good underwater photos. At night, when conditions are right, you can swim to the island's grotto and watch the bioluminescent phytoplankton sparkle with each stroke.
