Today we had our first full day in the western region of the archipelago. In the morning, we enjoyed Tagus Cove, walking inland to get beautiful photos of the landscape, including the famous Darwin’s Lake. We also went kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling along the shoreline to see Galapagos penguins, flightless cormorants, and more.
Our visit to Fernandina Island later in the afternoon provided sightings of colonies of marine iguanas on lava flows and sea lions on the sand. Without a doubt, it was one of the highlights of this trip!
