Ilhas Cagarras, Protected archipelago 5 km from Ipanema, Brazil.
The Cagarras archipelago contains five islands and two small islets, reaching heights of 79 meters above the Atlantic Ocean.
Marine charts from the 18th century labeled the main island as 'Island Cagade', referencing the extensive seabird nesting activities.
Local fishermen from Copacabana's Z-13 Colony, established in 1923, depend on these waters for their traditional fishing practices.
The islands permit activities such as nautical tourism, scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking, and stand-up paddling within designated areas.
The waters around the islands experience cold water upwelling during summer months, creating specific conditions for marine life development.
