Espanola is one of the oldest islands in the Galapagos Archipelago, with an estimated age of 3.5 million years. This island has two wonderful visitors’ sites with a great variety of species, some of which are endemic to the entire archipelago such as marine iguanas, sea lions, Darwin finches, Galapagos hawks. Española also has several of its own species, including lava lizards, Española mockingbirds, a saddleback land tortoise species, and the waved albatross. The albatross is not on the island all year around, but the entire population reproduces on Española. A long list of native sea birds are frequently encountered such as boobies, pelicans, warblers, and frigates. Espanola is only 60 square kilometers, and it is located on the most southern part of the Galapagos. It is without a doubt one of my favorite Islands, and certainly a highlight for our guests!
