the morcego island is located
in the eastern side of
guanabara bay, close to the shore of the
city of niterói.
it is also nearby the boa viagem island, itself
a part of the homonymous neighborhood.
morcego is in itself a rocky
peak rising over the lukewarm waters of the bay.
covered by a
small batch of green foliage, it remains a standout part of the
landscape, being easily seen from the beaches in the nearby
neighborhoods of boa viagem and ingá.
