The Abrolhos Archipelago is a group of five volcanic islands 70 kilometres off the Bahia coast, forming Brazil's first marine park and protecting the largest coral reef complex in the South Atlantic. Humpback whales concentrate here in large numbers between July and November to breed and nurse calves, making the archipelago one of the most reliable whale-watching sites in the southern hemisphere. Access is by boat from Caravelas, with overnight stays on live-aboard vessels.
