The <b>Banpo Bridge</b> (Korean, Hanja) is a major bridge in downtown Seoul over the Han River, South Korea, connecting the Seocho and Yongsan districts. The bridge is on top of Jamsu Bridge, forming the upper half of a double-deck bridge; it is the first double deck bridge built in South Korea. During periods of high rainfall, the Jamsu Bridge is designed to submerge as the water level of the river rises, as the lower deck lies close to the waterline. The bridge was built as a girder bridge and was completed in 1982.</div>

1. Most likely to eat a rat</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Giant Pitcher Plant: <em>Nepenthes attenboroughii</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-1-0909-83131493.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Discovered more than 5000 feet above sea level on Mount Victoria in the Philippines, the giant, carnivorous pitcher plant secretes a nectar-like substance to lure unsuspecting prey into a pool of enzymes and acid. A series of sticky, downward ribs makes it nearly impossible for trapped prey to escape. The plant's 30-centimeter diameter is large enough to trap unlucky rodents, but insects are its most common meal. Pitcher plants, of which there are about 600 different species, tend to grow in nitrogen-deficient environments, and therefore get their nutrients from decaying victims. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br />

2. Most likely to be in your garden now</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Castor Bean Plant: <em>Ricinus communis</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-2-0909-96216413.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Castor-bean plants can be purchased at just about any garden center, despite containing the deadly poison ricin. Amy Stewart, author of </span><em style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wicked Plants</em><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> and poisonous plant expert, has an affinity for the plant and grows several in her poison garden. Concerned gardeners can simply pluck the seeds off the plant, Stewart says, which is where the ricin is stored. Though the process to extract enough ricin and process it into a weapon is complex, Las Vegas authorities have discovered the toxin in a hotel room in February 2008, and the KGB used it to permanently silence opposition. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br />

3. Most violently toxic plant in North America</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Western Water Hemlock: <em>Cicuta douglasii</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-3-0909-48044947.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Deemed the most "violently toxic plant that grows in North America"</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"> </span>by the <b>USDA</b><span style="background-color: white;">,</span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> the water hemlock contains the toxin cicutoxin, which wreaks havoc on the central nervous system, causing grand mal seizures--which include loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions--and eventually death, if ingested. Water hemlock is different from poison hemlock, Socrates' notorious killer, in that it contains coniine alkaloids that kill by paralyzing the respiratory system. Both are members of the carrot family. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br />

<h3 style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
4. The plant that killed a president's mother</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>White snakeroot: <em>Eupatorium rugosum</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-4-0909-4506665.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drinking milk from a cow that decided to chow down on white snakeroot could lead to deadly milk sickness, as was the case with Abraham Lincoln's mother Nancy Hanks. Every part of this perennial plant contains tremetol, an unsaturated alcohol that can cause muscle tremors in livestock before killing them. "People were trying desperately throughout the 19th century to figure out what was poisoning their animals," Stewart says. It wasn't understood until the turn of the century, when the U.S. Department of Agriculture pinpointed the cause and quickly got the word out. Now, white snakeroot still grows wild, but more control in the agricultural industry has helped to prevent cows from eating it. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 109, 165); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 109, 165); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 2px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 2px; width: 470px;">
<h3 style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
5. The best plant to murder a dinner guest with</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Monkshood: <em>Aconitum napellus</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-5-0909-123985.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stewart was once asked what the best plant would be to murder a dinner guest with--after much deliberation she landed on monkshood. "You could just chop up the roots and make a stew," she says. "You don't need a chemistry plant to do it." The vibrant purple plant, commonly found in backyard gardens, is loaded with the poisonous alkaloid aconite, which tends to cause asphyxiation. While Stewart is certainly joking about cooking up a batch of monkshood stew, she urges anyone who has the plant in their garden to wear gloves when handling it. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 109, 165); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 109, 165); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 2px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 2px; width: 470px;">
<h3 style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
6. Most gruesome killer</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Common Bladderwort: <em>Utricularia macrorhiza</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-6-0909-54475551.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This aquatic meat eater relies on several submerged bladders to capture prey such as tadpoles and small crustaceans. An unsuspecting passerby will brush against an external bristle-trigger, causing the bladders to spring open and capture it. Once inside, the victim dies of suffocation or starvation and then decays into a liquid that is sucked up by cells on the walls of the bladder. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 109, 165); border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-width: 2px; border-top-color: rgb(0, 109, 165); border-top-style: solid; border-top-width: 2px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 5px; padding: 2px; width: 470px;">
<h3 style="font-size: 14pt; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
7. Most animal-like</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Venus flytrap: <em>Dionaea muscipula</em></strong></span></div>

Insects need to touch two of the flytrap's hairs consecutively in order for the plant to react, but the precise mechanism that shuts the trap remains unclear. The Botanical Society of America notes that early theories suggested that a sudden change in the water pressure of cells triggered the response, but this theory has since been abandoned. It now seems that when the plant is touched, the electrical potential of the leaf is altered, triggering a host of cellular-level events. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br />

8. The most likely plant to turn a person into a zombie</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Angel Trumpet: <em>Brugmansia</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-8-0909-79417224.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The droopy, gorgeous angel trumpet, native to regions of South America, packs a powerful punch of toxins, containing atropine, hyoscyamine, and scopolamine. As documented in the 2007 VBS.tv documentary "Colombian Devil's Breath," criminals in Colombia have extracted scopolamine from the plant and used it as a potent drug that leaves victims unaware of what they are doing but entirely conscious. Scopolamine can be absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes, allowing criminals to simply blow the powder in a person's face. The documentary is filled with scopolamine-related horror stories, including one account of a man moving all of his possessions out of his apartment (and into the hands of his robbers) without remembering any of it. </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br />

9. The most enticing poison</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Oleander: <em>Nerium oleander</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-9-0909-73420764.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This extremely common evergreen shrub is one of the most poisonous plants in the world. "If I were a parent and covering every electrical outlet in the home to protect the kids, I would really have to ask myself why I had an oleander plant growing," Stewart says. The leaves, flowers and fruit contain cardiac glycosides, which have therapeutic applications but are likely to send someone into cardiac arrest should he eat part of the plant. Stewart points out that there is a woman in California currently on death row for trying to poison her husband with the plant, and two young boys were found dead after ingesting oleander a few years back. "People tend to be blasé, because the flowers are bright and pretty, sort of candy-colored. But it is a very poisonous plant that will stop your heart." </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br />

10. Best home-security system</h3>
<span style="color: #ff3300; font-size: 11pt;"><strong>Mala Mujer: <em>Cnidoscolus angustidens</em></strong></span></div>
<img src="http://www.popularmechanics.com/cm/popularmechanics/images/danger-plants-10-0909.jpg" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> </span><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><br style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stewart describes this garden plant as more painful than poisonous. Mala mujer, which translates to "bad woman," can be found in parts of the southwest and Mexico and is covered with nasty thorns, which could be turned into makeshift barbwire if needed. The real danger, however, comes from the caustic, milky sap that can leak from the plant. The sap, a common feature among many plants in the Euphorbia genus, can cause painful skin irritations and unsightly discoloration. "I've had several people tell me they had euphorbia saps in their eyes," Stewart says. "And they had pretty surprisingly long-term eye damage."</span></div>

How to prevent weight gain is an oft discussed question  Just add loads of fibre to your daily diet to put off weight gain, says experts. Research shows that dietary fibre in the form of leafy greens, cereals, seasonal veggies, salads and fruits go a long way in preventing obesity, diabetes and heart ailments. Fibre lowers bad LDL cholesterol levels and helps regulate blood sugar levels. It also increases calcium absorption in the body and boosts your immunity. If you consume a lot of fibre daily then your tummy feels full for a long time and you don’t tend to binge on high calorie food. Eat smart to stay healthy!</div>

Fiber help prevent obesity and diabetes

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<h3 class="post-title entry-title" itemprop="name" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 20px; margin: 0px; position: relative;">
<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 1.4;">Scientists may have uncovered the mechanism by which fiber helps prevent obesity and diabetes, in a study conducted by a French-Swedish research team and published in the journal Cell in January 2014. Notably, this finding points to a key role played by intestinal flora, the microorganisms that naturally inhabit the human gut.</i></h3>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-1359619983166418308" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 578px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dietary fiber, or roughage, occurs in two separate forms: soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber cannot be digested by the body, but still plays a critical role in absorbing water from the digestive system and providing bulk to keep the intestinal muscles healthy and toned.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhg1C_inPStuknq3je3Gk1eF7BscWeygkoCHraLp5obJHsPIstCXDTs5Cqob1_yBYue8jNILbG9zLPfHSLiGryNYg4YE-4Dv5vVD6m5Mlc-RTDM8Lg_18hXWQzpB5iOLdmJH_B15Jyx7pYv/s640/16-Healthy-High-Fiber-Meals.jpg" style="border: none; position: relative;" width="640" /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-1359619983166418308" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 578px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soluble fiber, also known as prebiotic, viscous or fermentable fiber, cannot be digested either. Unlike insoluble fiber, however, soluble fiber is fermented by intestinal microbes into short-chain fatty acids and gases (including propionate and butyrate) which the body can digest.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Research has shown that diets high in fiber significantly reduce the risk of diabetes and obesity in humans and other animals. According to a research review published in the International Journal of Food Safety, Nutrition and Public Health in 2011, the widespread adoption of the Western diet has led to a reduction in fiber intake worldwide and a concurrent increase in health conditions such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Physiologically, fiber has been shown to lower cholesterol levels, increase calcium availability, boost immune function, maintain gastrointestinal health and help regulate blood sugar levels.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Fiber causes glucose production, hunger suppression</b></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Because soluble fiber is processed in the intestines, the French and Swedish researchers decided to investigate whether fiber's health-promoting properties might be related to the intestine's ability to produce glucose.</i><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><img border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPmlBrLyoB1vxjLbXjNeYVveKj5ZEs3fMykOf-W4OuVIDkQNupO9bBGIz8foOFmWexoRJXia6hGzfAqzVUyz4-S9S0wLC0fDLl0Sg4I7qZONBElAn4A9xH_rHuLuWp7vLQOMcTs1QcB6cf/s640/fiber.jpg" style="border: none; position: relative;" width="640" /></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-1359619983166418308" itemprop="description articleBody" style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 578px;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Like the liver and certain other organs, the intestine is capable of breaking down stored energy into glucose, in order to make energy available to the body between meals or at night. When the intestine produces glucose, the sugar is detected by the nerves in the walls of the portal vein, which collects blood flowing immediately out of the intestine. These nerves then signal the brain, which sends signals to the body designed to reduce the risk of obesity and diabetes: reduced hunger, increased rest-energy expenditure and reduced glucose production by the liver.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In order to examine the relationship between soluble fiber and intestinal glucose, the researchers fed rats and mice diets high in soluble fiber, propionate or butyrate. The researchers found that, in these rodents, genes and enzymes responsible for intestinal glucose synthesis became significantly more active. They also found that propionate was used directly by the intestine as part of the glucose production process.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In addition, rodents given a high-fiber, high-sugar and high-fat diet became less obese and developed less insulin resistance than rodents fed a high-sugar, high-fat low-fiber diet.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The researchers then performed the experiment again, this time with mice genetically modified to be unable to produce glucose in their intestines. In the genetically modified mice, a high-fiber diet offered no protection against obesity or diabetes; mice on the high-fiber diet became just as fat as mice on the low-fiber diet.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These findings not only help increase scientific understanding of the importance of dietary fiber but also highlight the important role played by healthy, naturally occurring intestinal flora. They also demonstrate the key role that the intestine plays in regulating the body's glucose levels.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Increasing your fiber intake is one of the easiest ways to combat the negative effects of a Western diet. In order to avoid unpleasant digestive side effects, fiber intake is best increased gradually and should be spread across all meals and snacks eaten during the course of the day.</span></div>

Gorge on lots of fresh fruits and veggies and balance your carbs, proteins and fibre content. Flush out the toxins with 2-3 litres of water daily. Save your alcohol spree for the weekends, if you can’t chuck it. Say NO to processed foods, and exercise! Any form of workout for 30-45 minutes a day will help you lose weight. Last but not the least- take ample rest! Rest helps to rejuvenate your mind and body.</div>

fantasy, but thanks to the benevolence and hospitality of the Mauritian people,

tape that couples can often experience elsewhere. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

legally binding marriage. Symbolic ceremonies and vow renewals are also
popular, but what truly sets Mauritius apart is the island's tendency to
embrace every visitor as one of its own. The Mauritian Government introduced a
special procedure simplifying the bureaucracy for non-resident couples,
allowing you to focus on more important things, enjoying each and every moment
of your special day…</span><span style="font-size: 16pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444;">Going swimming with sun block is actually, inside some areas, not allowed to protect the delicate environment. This helps to protect island’s beach locations, encircled with nice and untainted emerald green water where turtles and dolphins play. People today say that even the sharks tend to be pleasant inside Fernando de Noronha.</span></div>

If you notice numerous stylish newly-weds on their honeymoon next to tropic-hardened scientists, exposing the actual island’s divided individuality. A lot of food is traveled in, most of the resort’s “cottages” are usually more of 5-star locations, and also the island’s most typical type of travelling is by dune buggies. It is not the most eco-friendly choice but it’s practical due to the harsh roadways. Fernando de Noronha’s personality turmoil is apparent in the luxurious vs eco-friendly battle the island encounters.</span></div>

On the way you might pass by rock structures, turtles, flying fish, and barracudas. Additional nature features would be the strolling path to Baia do Sancho, that involves hiking two ladders on the pure cliff-face. Beyond the shorelines, jail remains provide a touch of lifestyle on Noronha prior to the modern day era. Gypsy people in 18th century and capoeira martial artists in the end of the 19th, had been imprisoned, oblivious their living nightmare might eventually grow to be a trendy eco-destination.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.987144470214844px;">Ask about Fernando de Noronha when you're in Sao Paulo, and your enquiry will invariably meet with a combination of wonderment, national pride, jealousy and misinformation. Fernando de Noronha is an island – named after a 16th-century Portuguese nobleman who may never have actually set foot there – that exists in the Brazilian imagination somewhere not far from Shangri-la, Atlantis and paradise. People glaze over when you mention it: eyeballs tend to roll upwards in that universal gesture of delight.</span></div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; line-height: 18.987144470214844px;">We were told by friends, acquaintances and strangers – none of whom had actually been to Fernando de Noronha – to expect the most spectacular beaches in all of Brazil. Some were certain that jet aircraft are barred from landing there; others warned that there is only one hotel and absolutely no internet. Naomi Campbell, we were reliably informed, goes there to unwind after Sao Paulo Fashion Week, but – far from being just a bolt-hole for the wealthy – it is also a fiercely protected eco-wonderland, favoured by naturalists and marine biologists. The island's luxuriously warm and unsullied emerald waters are, it was widely agreed, teeming with dolphins and turtles. What's more, the consensus assured us that every type of shark common to the area is, in fact, friendly.</span></div>

Like most people from outside Latin American we had never heard of Fernando de Noronha, and because less than half of what we'd been told seemed even remotely plausible, we turned to Charles Darwin for supporting testimony. He stopped there in 1832, after one of his crew had harpooned a porpoise for supper (Darwin was evidently no Dr Dolittle), but spent only a day "wandering about the woods" before setting off in hopes of finding "greater wonders" elsewhere. His account – except for reports of "a conical hill, about one thousand feet high, the upper part of which is exceedingly steep" – is distinctly underwhelming. Would this living paradise, in reality, turn out to be little more than a product of mass exaggeration? Or would it live up to the hype?</div>

Fernando de Noronha is, strictly speaking, an archipelago made up of one 11-square-mile chunk of volcanic rock and 20 smaller islands, three degrees south of the equator, 220 miles from Brazil's north-eastern coast. The flight from Sao Paulo – on a modern passenger jet, for the record – pauses briefly in the seafront city of Recife before continuing out into the Atlantic, and touching down on an airstrip that occupies a large portion of the lush, green interior. From above, the promise of an outrageously attractive wonderland – glinting turquoise sea, pristine sand – is instantly made good.</div>

After happily coughing up an Environment Protection Tax at the airport (seven days costs about £65 per person), we were taken by Land Rover to our hotel – the Pousada do Vale – a friendly place on a wooded lane near the island's first permanent settlement, the Vila dos Remédios. Within half an hour, we fully understood the basic climatic reality of life on Noronha during the rainy season (April to August) – bursts of blistering sunshine punctuated by torrential downpours. As a result, nature goes into overdrive: explosions of greenery; reptilian battalions of frogs and native, yellow-eyed mabuya lizards; and clouds of low-flying, almost invisible borrachudo mosquitoes that have a voracious appetite for human ankle flesh. Self-preservation quickly drove us to the most effective, but least environmentally friendly, of the two insect repellants offered by the pousada: not the ideal start on a Unesco World Heritage Site and designated maritime national park where swimming in sun-screen is, in places, forbidden lest the delicate eco-system be damaged.</div>

As night fell like a cosh, the island's split-personality began to reveal itself. All the evidence so far had marked out Noronha as a dream destination for tropic-hardened biologists, but the appearance of several smartly dressed couples, picking their way gingerly over rain-slicked cobblestones, confirmed its bread-and-butter identity as a magnet for well-heeled honeymooners. Their shoes were muddied, and their lower legs were – like ours – borrachudo'd, but they had paid good money for romance in paradise and no extremes of nature were going to take that from them. The remoteness of the island – and its perceived value as the perfect holiday destination – keeps prices (food, lodging) perennially high, on a par with pricier quarters of Sao Paulo, enhancing its exclusivity and mystique.</div>

The evening, spent over several cans of lager at a bar called Tom Marrom, surrendered a colourful procession of diverse characters: a local teenager rode past on a horse, followed by a man in a dune buggy who appeared to be modelling himself after Steve McQueen's Thomas Crown. The dune buggy turns out to be the island's most common form of transportation: not exactly the environmentalist's first choice, but practical given a road system structured largely around the pot-hole, the gully and the rut. The bar's waitresses wore fake pig-tails and painted-on freckles, and danced – between deliveries of food – to the live forró band. Forró is an accordion-based type of folk-dance music particular to the north-east of Brazil, with an intoxicating and swampy feel to it. One band member traditionally plays the triangle, which we assumed was the least-taxing, most Bez-like role, until our trianglist started to sing, very well, and instantly shot up in our estimation.<br />

After a night spent under the watchful eye of several mabuyas, we set about discovering that the best of Noronha is to be found on and under the water. A three-hour round trip by boat from the island's small harbour is as good an introduction to the island as any, and features a 40-minute snorkelling stop at the astoundingly pretty Baia do Sancho. En route we were shown rock formations that (sort of) resemble a dog, an Egyptian mummy and King Kong, caught passing glimpses of flying fish, a stray turtle and several javelin-shaped barracuda. The big draw, though, was the resident spinner dolphins – so-called because they jump clear of the water in acrobatic spirals – that turn up in their hundreds on a daily basis. You just can't argue with wild dolphins en masse: some would insist they're worth the hefty price of admission to Noronha alone.</div>

We could neither confirm nor deny the rumoured friendliness of the local sharks – the lemon shark, nurse shark and Caribbean reef shark are the most common – because we didn't see any, but we can state that there have been no reported attacks (touch wood). In marked contrast to the mainland coast near Recife, where environmental disruption has provoked a dramatic rise in fatal shark encounters, the protected marine eco-system around Noronha appears to offer the creatures all the sustenance they require.</div>

Other nature-based highlights included the walking route to Baia do Sancho, which involves negotiating two ladders on a sheer cliff-face and feels moderately adventurous, until you realise that it's regularly tackled by old ladies in flip-flops; and a lunch of freshly caught barracuda at Bar do Meio on the Praia do Meio, frigate birds circling overhead. Away from the beaches, the ruins of a prison offers a hint of life on Noronha before the modern tourist era. Gypsies (in 1739) and capoeira fighters (in 1890) were incarcerated there, unaware that their living hell would one day morph into a high-end eco-destination.</div>

Fish night back at the Pousada do Vale – during which the hand-delivered catch is wrapped in banana leaves and grilled – is free for guests on Thursdays. The hotel's two-storey "bungalows" have balconies with hammocks, and it was in one of them that we weighed up our thoughts on the island. Had Noronha lived up to the hype? No question about it, the place is gorgeous – whatever nature had taken away by sending deluges of Atlantic rain and vindictive insects, it had given back in spades with stunning marine life, dramatic rock formations and priceless sunsets. But there was still the sneaking suspicion that Fernando de Noronha has something of an identity crisis. By selling itself as both a strictly patrolled eco-paradise and a dream destination for the well-off – where bicycles are out-muscled by petrol-chugging buggies, and much of the food is flown in – the island comes across as confused. The price-tag for a holiday there is likely to deter many, but for honeymooning scuba divers who aren't short of a bob or two, Fernando de Noronha is a live contender.</div>
