Isabela

About Isabela

Close Panel

The largest island in the archipelago, it has the biggest volcanoes and largest tortoise population. The four landing sites are on the west of the island, a long way from most of the other islands in the archipelago. However, between them there is lots to see - flamingoes, ducks, waders, moorhens, penguins, brown noddy terns, marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, herons, and of course blue-footed boobies and sea lions.
