Home » Ecuador » Galapagos Island Regions and Cities » Espanola

This island is the most southerly of the archipelago. This island is well worth visiting because it has the only colony of the waved albatross, one of the Galapagos most spectacular seabirds. The best visitor site on Española is Punta Suarez where blue-footed boobies have nested and a variety of iguanas bask in the sun.

Just beyond the colony is a blowhole where if you sit long enough you can watch seabirds performing their aerial acrobatic moves and their less graceful attempts to land and to take off. The beautiful white-sand beach of Gardner Bay, located at the eastern coast, provides an excellent beach for swimming and snorkeling; while a colony of playful sea lions and birds observe with curiosity.
