Santa Fe Island

Geography

A relatively small island in the centre of the archipelago, characterised by its arid landscape and a large bay protected by a peninsula that forms an almost perfect cove.

Significance

Known for its beautiful coves and endemic species, Santa Fe offers one of the most picturesque anchorages in the Galapagos. It's home to the unique Santa Fe land iguana.

Attractions

Hiking on trails to see the giant prickly pear cactus and the Santa Fe land iguana is a highlight.

Activities

Snorkelling and kayaking in the clear waters allow for encounters with sea lions, tropical fish, and sometimes sea turtles.
