the islets are strung (some would say hidden)
between ilha cagarra to the north and ilha comprida to the
southwest; the northernmost islet is filhote followed by matias
and praça onze, respectively.
the channels that separate the
islets are fairly small, and navigating them by boat
-
particularly on either side of praça onze
-
can be
tricky.
the only islet with vegetation is filhote da cagarra ('cagarra's
pup'), and the space between the rocks found here forms a small
natural pool.
