Step into the untamed wilderness of Punta Espinoza, where ancient lava flows meet thriving wildlife colonies. This pristine corner of Fernandina Island offers an authentic Galápagos experience where marine iguanas bask in the sun and sea lions lounge just feet away from visitors.
Punta Espinoza stands as one of the Galápagos' most spectacular landing sites, where the raw power of volcanic creation meets extraordinary biodiversity. The stark black lava formations create a dramatic backdrop for wildlife viewing that feels almost prehistoric in nature.
Incredible Wildlife Encounters
Marvel at the largest marine iguana colonies in the archipelago as hundreds of these unique reptiles cluster together on the rocks. Watch for the rare flightless cormorant drying its vestigial wings, spot Galápagos hawks soaring overhead, and delight in playful sea lions performing aquatic acrobatics along the shoreline.
Photographic Paradise
Bring extra memory cards for your camera as Punta Espinoza offers unparalleled photography opportunities. The contrast between jet black lava and vibrant wildlife creates stunning natural compositions at every turn.
Pristine Exploration
Follow your naturalist guide along well maintained trails that wind through this untouched ecosystem. The site's remote location on Fernandina, the youngest and most volcanically active island, means you'll experience the Galápagos in its most authentic, unspoiled state.
