Ponta da Sapata
A headland at the southwest tip of the main island, where a rock arch frames a window shaped like Brazil's map. Reached by guided hike.
A volcanic rock headland at the southwest end of the main island. The famous Brazil Map Window is an opening in the cliff face whose outline resembles Brazil's map, and the sea is visible through it. You must join the guided Capim-Açu–Sapata Trail designated by the national park, which requires a guide and advance booking. The hike takes several hours and passes high cliffs and birdwatching areas, with wild, unspoiled scenery. You can also view the headland from the sea on an island boat tour.
