DAY 4
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: Tagus Cove
Located right in front of Fernandina Island, this cove was frequently used by pirates and whalers as an anchoring site in the 19th century, many of which painted the names on their ships on cliffs along the shore. A trail leads from the cove to the top of a nearby hill, where visitors can enjoy beautiful landscapes formed by the tuff lava hills that make the island and the nearby Darwin lake, usually populated by flamingoes.
During the hike is possible to observe the local fauna: yellow warblers, mockingbirds, finches and the Galapagos hawk.
