ilha pombeba (pombeba island), in the lagoa da jacarepaguá, is actually a peninsula, as it is still connected to the mainland through a small isthmus, only wide enough to contain a single road - the ana lúcia de magalhães road, which links with the salvador allende avenue and, through it, to the rest of rio de janeiro.

pombeba island itself is relatively small and surrounded by trees - it is home to an important institution, the centro de reabilitação infantil sarah-rio.

in english it translates as 'infantile rehabilitation center sarah-rio'.

the sarah rehabilitation centers aim at providing free healthcare for patients in need of rehabilitation treatments - they're centered in treating children, especially those who require neurological treatment.
