ISABELA ISLAND
Discover the largest natural paradise in Galapagos
More than 1,000 km off the coast of South America, the Galapagos Islands are the dream destination for nature and adventure lovers. At its heart lies Isabela, the largest island in the archipelago and a place that is sure to take your breath away.
With unique landscapes formed by six majestic volcanoes – five of them still active – Isabela is an unparalleled natural spectacle. Visiting the Sierra Negra Volcano is a must. It’s famous for its caldera—one of the largest in the world—and offers hikes with impressive views that connect you with the Earth’s power.
Experience the Biodiversity: Isabela is a wildlife sanctuary
On its beaches, you can find Galapagos penguins, flightless cormorants, and playful sea lions. Its crystal-clear waters invite you to explore a vibrant underwater world full of sharks, rays, and majestic sea turtles. Furthermore, the island’s wetlands and lagoons are home to elegant pink flamingos and migratory birds that complement this natural paradise.
A Place Where Nature and History Converge
Beyond it’s breathtaking natural beauty, Isabela also holds a past full of history. The Wall of Tears, built by prisoners during the time when the island was a penal colony, is a moving reminder of its human and cultural legacy.
