 Land

Finches, Galapagos Hawks, Galapagos Doves and very interesting
lowland vegetation.
The third-largest human settlement of the archipelago, Puerto
Villamil, is located at the south-eastern tip of the island.
With is exotic beauty of flora and fauna all around the urban area,
Puerto Villamil is a must for all those who love nature. The
visitors sites which are within reach from Puerto Villamil are the
following: Volcano Sierra Negra, The Flamingo Pond, the crevice of
the White Tip Sharks, the historic site of Wall of Tears, and the
Giant Tortoises Raising Center of the National Park.
In the north of Isabela there is a small
promontory known as Punta Vicente Roca, on the southwestern edge of
Ecuador volcano. The point presides over a
pair of jewel-like coves.
 The coves lie on either side of the eroded
remains of a volcanic ash cone, which make up the point. The
sheltered bay is a popular anchorage for boats and visitors may have
a look around in dinghies.
The surrounding cliffs are actually the interior
walls of a fallen volcano and there is a partly flooded cave.
Tourist places of the Island Isabela are
Tagus Cove, Elizabeth Bay, Punta
Albemarle, Urbina Bay, Las Tintoreras. |
