PLAZAS ISLAND
HOUR: 7:00 – 8:00 am TO 4:00 pm.
The Tour
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.
ITINERARY
Once you land on the island, you will take a guided walk (in English and Spanish) through the Opuntias forest (giant cacti endemic to the archipelago, some of them reach up to 10 meters in altitude).
Here you can see a large number of land iguanas that feed on the flower of these cacti. The trail, which is approximately 1 km long, will take you to a cliff where you can see many seabirds such as tropical birds, swallow-tailed gulls, boobies, etc., and you can see large colonies of sea lions.
After this walk, you will have a hot lunch and soft drinks on the boat and then head to Punta Carrión, where you can swim with sea lions, white tip sharks, rays and different reef fish.
