Among all the islands belonging to the archipelago, the most important is large rock, not so much because of its surface, since there are others that exceed it in size if not to contain most of the population and be the very administrative commercial center of the islands. islands.
Great rock is located in the N.E part of the Archipelago, being its geographic coordinates 11º 47'33'' north and 66º 40'37'' from Greenwich for its central part. It has the shape of a right triangle with the most acute vertex oriented in the N-74ºW direction, and its maximum dimensions are: 3.15 Km. S.E to N.W and 990mt. At its eastern end, where the coast (bone the triangle leg) follows the direction N.E.- S.W.

It can be said that in the northern half of the island, a landscape of relief develops that extends westward until reaching the sea, giving rise to a steep coast without beaches. The island on its northern slope presents an abrupt topography with strong cliffs. slopes towards the sea, of the order of 70º and even more, represented by vertical cliffs and very similar salient block is the southern slope of the western block.

The majority of the population is in the Gran Roque, where the airstrip is also located.

Although the variety of flora and fauna is very limited in the arid land surfaces, the archipelago is a paradise for diving and snorkeling enthusiasts. Fishing for Bonefish (bonefish) is also an important attraction, quite daring and with much action.
The yachts and sailboats available for tourism are a relative and constantly changing option. Part of this is due to the nature of the owners (usually independent and daring spirits).

The wonderful white sands and crystalline waters shine and welcome you, along with the great variety of species that the park houses, since it is one of the most representative coastal marine ecosystems of the country, this being the reason for obtaining the titles of National Park and a wetland of international importance that I declare RAMSAR, a world convention that promotes the conservation of the world's wetlands, to guarantee water, its products and life on the planet among many things.
