We started our day very early doing a wet landing on a black sandy beach where turtles come to lay eggs at all times of the year. A few steps from the beach we encounter a couple of young giant tortoises which gladly posed for our avid paparazzi and even walked up to us.
We continue our walk this time to encounter the beautiful male land iguanas just along the path warming up to be able to move and find food.
These and many more are great subjects for photo opportunities. Land birds like Darwin finches, mockingbirds and others also live here.
The morning comes to an end with some of us taking a quick refreshing dip in the ocean.
The afternoon offers various activities like kayaking along the coast of Tagus Cove for exercise and wild life watching. Penguins, turtles, cormorants and some sea lions are common around here.
Later we prepare for snorkeling where we can see the always marvelous penguins, graceful sea turtles, surprising cormorants, playful sea lions and an endless number of other marine creatures.
An invigorating fast pace hike to a nearby ash cone offers a great chance of a fantastic view of the lake locked into it. Very salty water with outstanding colors on the edges and clothed with picturesque Palo Santo trees make the scenery.
