Espanola Island
The oldest Galápagos Island above sea level it is around 5 million years old. There we were on our way to Punta Suarez. After our first dry landing all groups began their walk onto one of the most prominent seabird colonies of Galápagos. It also has the most colorful marine iguanas.
Due to its landscape, steep cliffs and flat terrain many species of birds inhabit it. Along the way we was blue-footed boobies, together with nazca boobies, swallow tailed gulls and red billed tropic birds amongst others.
Certainly the path is quite rocky from beginning to end, but we had a bright sunny day to enlighten the hike. The sun showed us all the colors of this rugged and wild landscape.
On our way to the blow hole, a natural formation, we went by nesting waved albatrosses, 99% of this species nest only on Espanola. There was so much to see along the way, that it took all morning.
We spent our afternoon on Gardner Bay, a long white sandy beach where we walked and explored this incredible place. We even had our first opportunity to snorkel. For those who did not feel like going in the water, they could view sea life from a glass-bottom boat, or kayak along the coast. The idea was not to leave anyone without an adventure.
