Floreana Island has a rich human history marked by early exploration, colonization attempts, and intrigue. This island became a stopover for pirates and whalers in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries. In 1832, Ecuador claimed the Galápagos, and Floreana saw its first official settlement. Today, Floreana is home to a small community focused on conservation and sustainable tourism.
