Discover Punta Suárez, a wildlife paradise on Española Island where nature puts on an unforgettable show. This extraordinary corner of the Galápagos offers world-class bird watching, dramatic volcanic landscapes, and close encounters with unique species found nowhere else on Earth.
Punta Suárez stands as one of the most spectacular wildlife destinations in the Galápagos archipelago. This remarkable site on Española Island's western edge welcomes visitors with a rugged trail winding through a living nature documentary.
As you explore, you'll encounter Marine Iguanas basking in colorful clusters, their black bodies often tinged with red and turquoise during mating season. The iconic Blue-footed Boobies perform their charming mating dances just steps from the path, while overhead, the magnificent Waved Albatross soars with its impressive 8-foot wingspan.
The dramatic landscape features jagged cliffs where Nazca Boobies nest alongside rare Swallow-tailed Gulls - the world's only nocturnal gull. Perhaps most thrilling is the natural blowhole where ocean swells crash into a lava formation, sending spectacular water plumes up to 75 feet into the air.
