Galapagos vacations
Isabela Island
|
Urbina Bay: Urbina Bay is one of the best and the most
recent example of Geological Uplift in the
Galapagos. It is an
easy wet landing on a gentle sloping beach. |
 |
|
|
This area is very interesting in that it is
a perfect example of the geological activity of the islands.
In 1954 over 3 miles (5 kilometers) of the marine reef
at the edge of the shore were uplifted by 13 feet (4 meters).
Corals and other marine formations distinguish
this site. Flightless cormorants and brown pelicans nest along
the coast. |
|
You can also find large
marine iguanas, rays,
marine turtles, seashells
and the plant Darwiniothamnus
tenuifolius. |
|
Punta Albemarle: Is the nesting site
for Flightless Cormorants and home to a colony of the largest
Marine Iguanas in the islands.
Las Tintoreras: In this
site you can observe the white tipped shark. It needs only a 5
min drive in a dinghy from Puerto Villamil. |
|
| There is also a trail that allows you to
see other plants and
animals. |
