DAY 2

AM: Punta Moreno

Punta Moreno is located on the north coast of Isabela Island. This site features a trail of approximately 2100 meters that takes visitors through the extensive lava field to then reach the tidal pools and lagoons, populated by flamingos and Galapagos ducks and the mangrove trees, used by other bird species, as the finches. The path leads then back to the coast, where is possible to do a panga ride along the rocky shore to observe the wildlife.

PM: Urbina Bay

This visitor site is quite unique, as it was formed during a recent seafloor uplift that exposed six kilometers of coral reef and coral heads above sea level, making possible for visitors to walk on was used to be a coral bed. The trail will take us along the dry vegetation of the island, populated by land iguanas and many bird species, including flightless cormorants and pelicans.
