Ilhéus Secos, Protected island group in Cape Verde.
The Ilhéus Secos consists of several small islands, including Islote Grande and Islote de Cima, located 8 kilometers north of Brava Island.
Portuguese explorers documented these islands during their Atlantic expeditions in the 15th century while mapping the Cape Verde archipelago.
The islands reflect Cape Verde's maritime heritage through their names in multiple languages, including Portuguese Ilhéus do Rombo and Spanish Islotes Secos.
Access to the islands requires coordination with local boat operators from Brava Island, and visits depend on weather conditions.
The islets maintain natural isolation, creating specific conditions for marine species and migratory birds in the central Atlantic Ocean.
