Breathtaking Baía dos Porcos (Bay of Pigs)
In 1503, a Portuguese expedition discovered the uninhabited islands, which were later occupied by the Dutch, French, English, and Americans before becoming a territory of Brazil in 1738. Over the centuries, the islands have served as a pirate haven, penal colony, merchant port, and military base before finally being designated as a nature preserve in 1988.
