This beautiful island is located in the south of the archipelago, española is the gateway into and out of the galapagos for some of the sea birds.
There are two visitor sites in the island, Gardner bay and Punta Suarez. The richest of the fauna is not only evidence in the colonies of seabirds, such as blue-footed boobies, masked boobies and endemic albatross. Here you will also visit a blowhole on the basaltic shore, at the end of the trail in Punta Suarez.
