Santa Fe Island
About
Explore Santa Fe which is formed by uplifted, submarine basaltic lava, created some 4 million years ago. Much of it is a faulted plateau covered with a forest of giant Opuntia cactus. The most spectacular plants are the giant prickly pear cactus, unique to Santa Fe (Opuntia echios barringtonensis). The Galapagos dove is common on the trail, as are painted locusts, often pursued by a snake or two. The park monument is often a vantage point to spy a Galapagos hawk. The highlight is the land iguana, a lighter-colored iguana that is endemic to Santa Fe. Santa Fe is also home to a large Sea Lion nursery.
Discover South Plaza Island. This beautiful island is full of both land life and birds, incl...
