It is the result of a number of craters forming a chain, and its shape resembles the halve of an ellipse with an average diameter of 1 km, with two main elevations. The island's highest point, located in the northern section, is called mount Colibrí or Colibre. Along with the rest of the islands of the archipelago, it belongs to the Columbretes Islands Natural Reserve. ()
