Espanola Island
This is one of the most beautiful and popular islands visited due to the variety of animals seen here. The two visitor sites are Punta Suarez on the western tip and Gardner Bay on the eastern side.
The former offers its visitors spectacular 30 meter high cliffs inhabited by numerous birds; Masked Boobies, Blue Footed Boobies, Galapagos Doves, the indigenous Hood Mockingbird, the Cactus and Warbler Finches, Waved Albatrosses.
Walking on the edge of the cliffs you will have a spectacular view of the blowhole, a tunnel connected with the sea that spurts a shower of water 15 to 30 meters high.
You will also see sea lions and Marine Iguanas basking in the sun, and the largest Lava Lizard in the Galapagos. Gardner Bay offers a fantastic golden beach for walking amongst Sea Lions and fabulous snorkeling in the Bay.
