Plazas

Isla Plazas consists of two small islands on the west side of Isla Santa Cruz, most of which only visit the south island. Isla Plazas is made up of 2 small islands just off the east of Santa Cruz, most of which only visit the south island. The landing is dry and takes you to a forest of opuntia cacti where it is sometimes difficult to walk due to the number of land iguanas scattered all over the ground.
A one-kilometer trail takes visitors along/walking through a ravine where you can see colonies of sea lions and tailed gulls and other nesting species.
