There are about half a million Islands. Among them is Cue Mata Grande, one of the most dangerous travel destinations in the world.
Why it is so dangerous, we will analyze in this issue. Looking like a fabulous Resort, an island which is in the Atlantic Ocean in fact does not accept tourists.

According to statistics, there are about five snakes per square meter of the Island’s land. According to one theory of the origin of the island, 11 000 years ago the sea level Rose significantly and separated a piece of land from Brazil.
The snakes that remained there, despite favorable climatic conditions, found themselves in a very difficult situation in terms of food, which probably affected The lethality in bloodthirstiness of their future descendants. Abandoned in complete isolation, the snakes continued.
Their kind and migrating birds became their food, which used the island of quamada Grande as a staging post during their seasonal travels. Many snakes are excellent tree climbers, so it is not difficult for them to get their own food by hunting birds. Besides the birds and the snakes hunt lizards.
The snakes living on the island are very aggressive and can masterfully disguise themselves and adapt to environmental conditions. In anticipation of the victims, they can be stationary for a long time. Thousands of kinds of snakes on the island are the most dangerous. Bathrobs in Solaris stands out. It is one of the deadliest snake in the entire world. Its bite causes necrosis of muscle tissue due to the incredibly strong poison.

Sting survivors tell the creepiest stories after encountering a snake. In fact, that bitten place is literally corrode and human flesh falls off in whole pieces and large blood loss occurs and the person experiences acute pain. At the end of the 19th century, several businessmen from the city of Sao Paulo tried to colonize the island. The plans of the entrepreneurs were to set up extensive banana plantations in this area, burn out Forest areas and Destroy creeping reptiles.
But as soon as they set foot on the island, the reptiles began to attack and even high rubber boots could not save them. Then there was another attempt: people armed with special suits that protected the body well from the snake bites.
However, the island of Keymad Grande is characterized by the hottest tropical climate and the workers had to make a cruel Choice: get bitten or die from suffocation. They even tried to burn the island, which was prevented by periodic precipitation. After unsuccessful attempts to win back the island from the snakes, its possession returned to the state again. A lighthouse was built on a partially liberated territory because of the Mortal danger. He does not have a caretaker and the lighthouse Works automatically by many.
