• During the tour you go through a dry vegetation zone, substrate of volcanic rocks and a sandy area.During the panga tour brown pelicans and several species of shorebirds can be observed; although, snorkeling, it’s common to see juvenile sea lions, manta rays and sea turtles.
• We have a quick pack lunch on the boat and continue to Ochoa Beach, in this area there is a considerable colony of Galapagos Sea Lions. One of the outstanding floras in this site is Piscidia or Matazarno, this species is highly valued for its toughness and long life. Ghosts and Hermit crabs are common species in this site visit.
