Fernandina Island: Espinoza Point

Fernandina, which is the third largest island of the Galapagos, has just one visitor site, Espinoza Point. It's famous for its large marine iguana colonies, as well as the Galapagos Penguin, flightless cormorant and snakes. Espinoza Point is a great place to admire Fernandina's beauty and the volcano that last erupted on May 2005. Fernandina Island is the only one without mammals, and its open spaces are very fragile. We take extra care to walk with caution from January until June when the marine iguana is nesting. Dinner.

Espumilla Beach

Palo Santo Wood and its beach are the main attractions. The stunning landscape is also a major attraction. Lunch.

Egas Port

The black sand is formed by volcanic deposits from the Pan de Azucar Volcano. This volcano has a saltwater crater that evaporates during warm weather. In 1928-1930, there were explorations for a possible salt mine, but the decision was made that it would not be feasible. The use of woods that were endemic to the area by the workers also caused environmental damage, and so the project was abandoned. The descent into the salt mines is prohibited. Dinner.

Bachas Beach

The beach measures one kilometer in length and is situated to the north of Santa Cruz Island.

The name was given to the site during WWII when two American barges were left on the beach. Early colonists could not pronounce barges properly, so called the area Bachas.
