Punta Suarez is one of the most popular and attractive visits of the Galapagos. The quantity and variety of wildlife at this site is remarkable. Encounter young sea lions, iguanas, and further inland, masked and blue-foot boobies. The trail continues toward the cliffs and the blowhole, a fissure in the lava where water spurts high in the air like a geyser.

Espanola Island is the southernmost island of the archipelago and, due to its isolation, has a high proportion of endemic fauna. Gardner Bay offers some beach time with the extroverted mockingbirds.
