About Ilha Quirimba


JuteVilla
fishing settlements, the islands' population grew around Arab trading posts and thrived under the Portuguese trading routes when it was known as the Ilhas de Sao Lazaro (Islands of St. Lazarus). Today, many of the islands are uninhabited.

These islands are known for their high-quality diving sites, including phenomenal drop-offs, some up to 400 meters. The Quirimbas National Park, spanning an area of 7 500 kmĀ², includes the 11 most southerly islands, which are partly surrounded by mangroves. The park was established in 2002
