#QueimadaGrande is a piece of land with an area of 0.43 km², lying 35 km south of Sao Paulo. Literally, its name translates as “the island of a big fire”: in the past, the indigenous people of Brazil have repeatedly attempted to clear the land of the island for banana plantations by setting up a large-scale forest fire. However, in the people it is known under an even more sinister name - "Snake Island".
