Itinerary

Tintoreras
  • Tintoreras Islet is a small volcanic island located just off the coast of Puerto Villamil, on Isabela Island. It is renowned for its rich marine and terrestrial biodiversity. In a narrow lava crevice, visitors can observe white tip reef sharks (locally called “tintoreras”) resting in shallow waters. The islet is also home to marine iguanas—some of the largest in the archipelago—lava lizards, sea lions, and seabirds such as blue footed boobies, pelicans, herons, and occasionally Galápagos penguins.
Wetlands
  • Visit to the flamingo wetlands on Isabela, in the Galápagos, is a must-do experience for nature lovers. This ecosystem of lagoons and mangroves, formed by volcanic
activity, is home to the pink flamingo, one of the most iconic birds of the archipelago. The walk follows marked trails that allow visitors to observe flamingos and other birds in their natural habitat, while enjoying unique landscapes and a peaceful setting ideal for photography and ecotourism. Tortoise Breading Center
  • A visit to the Arnaldo Tupiza Breeding Center, located on Isabela in the Galápagos, is an essential experience to learn about the conservation work carried out to protect the giant tortoises.
At this center, tortoises are protected and raised at different stages of growth, from small hatchlings to young juveniles, before being reintroduced into their natural habitat. The tour takes place along visitor-friendly paths, where you can observe these emblematic species and learn about the preservation programs that ensure their survival. It is an educational and family-friendly activity that combines nature, history, and conservation—perfect to include in any Isabela itinerary.
