SANTIAGO (James) James Bay:

An easy stroll, observing Darwin's finches and the Galápagos hawk.

Near the shores, excellent birding too. Easily more than ten species of migrants can be recorded here.

Great location for spotting those rare avian visitors that will use Galápagos as their stepping stone on their arduous sea voyage.

The black lava rock formations are spectacular too; these are home to the Galápagos fur sea lions.
