Tagus Cove,
named for the British naval vessel that moored here in 1814,
was used historically as an anchorage for pirates and whalers. The coves quiet waters make for an ideal panga ride beneath its sheltered cliffs, where
blue-fotted
boobies, brown noddies, pelicans and noddy terns make their
nests, and flightless cormorants and
penguins inhabit the lava
ledges.
From the shore, a wooden stairway rises to
the dusty trail passing through the
Palo Santo Forests to
reach the perfectly round saltwater crater, Darwin Lake. |
