With 20 miles of semi-deserted beaches, the island of Boipeba is an invitation to anonymity.

The difficult access is the one responsible for maintaining the "secret" this pearl of the coast of Bahia. Virtually intact, almost wild, Boipeba Island also has a little help from the local population, which strives to preserve nature and guide the tourists to leave everything just the way he found, indeed, as ever.

Human intervention is viewed with reservations. Cars, for example, are strictly forbidden, even for bridges linking the island to the mainland. The only people who travel there are the tractors that make garbage collection. ATMs, currency exchange, or anything that smacks of "civilization" has no place in this quiet island.

British, French, German, Italian and Spanish have already discovered long ago the peace that reigns there. And come back year after year more and more astounded with the turquoise sea, and so transparent, that the Caribbean is probably just find something similar.
