The Isabela is the largest island in the Archipelago. It is the result of six large volcanic domes fused together.

Tagus Cove is a natural harbor where centuries ago whalers and pirates left their ship's names painted or carved on the rocks.

A walk uphill takes you around Darwin's Crater salt-water lake for a superb view.

A dinghy ride along the shoreline lets you see penguins, flightless cormorants, boobies, pelicans and Sally Light foot crabs.

Urbina Bay is located at the central-west coast of Isabela Island at the foothills of Volcanoes Alcedo and Darwin. Land on a dark volcanic sand beach.

Highlights include large and colorful land iguanas, since the inland area includes excellent nesting grounds for them.

Good possibilities of seeing giant tortoises in the wild (all year, numbers may vary according to seasonal conditions).

Along the rocky shoreline, possible sightings of flightless cormorants, blue-footed boobies, penguins and large marine iguanas.

Punta Moreno is located in the central-south western coast of Isabela Island.

Spectacular view of volcanoes Alcedo, Sierra Negra and Cerro Azul.

Highlights: impressive lava flows from eruptions years ago. Desolate, extremely pristine landscape. A textbook of pioneer plants, extraordinarily varied and unusual arid-zone vegetation.

The main attraction is a compound of small brackish lagoons very much like a desert oasis with lagoon birds, including seasonal flamingos.

Ideal place for observing the rare and reclusive gallinules. Frequent sights of frigates, pelicans and other sea birds doing salt cleansing dives to the lagoon's surface.
