Geography

The islet is almost devoid of vegetation, the second largest island of Ilheus do Rombo. This archipelago lies approximately seven kilometers northeast of the island of Brava. Four kilometers west of Ilhéu de Cima is Ilhéu Grande, the largest and westernmost island of Ilheus do Rombo. Only a few hundred meters in diameter big are the Ilhéu Luiz Carneiro, Ilhéu Sapado and Ilhéu do Rei. There are also some more minor projecting out of the water rocks. Overall, the area for the boat ride is very dangerous, and a lighthouse stands at about 80 meters above sea level on the southern tip of Ilhéu de Cima above sea level.
