In the morning after having breakfast our guide will take to Tintoreras islet. Upon arrival you will see that a lava crevice with a small lagoon of turquoise water inside is clearly evident. When the water is calm, whitetip sharks, also known as "tintoreras", usually come here to rest. They are the ones that give name to this rocky islet. On the vertical walls of the crevice and in the lagoon you will also see baby marine iguanas warming their bodies in the sun. Ready to snorkel in this little paradise? Upon arrival at the islet you will also see sea lions, blue-footed boobies, crabs, sea turtles, pelicans and the peculiar Galapagos penguins. An exalted display of wildlife that will take your breath away. Following the guide, you will reach a small cove inside the islet where you will snorkel. You will dive among a great variety of fish, starfish, sea urchins, manta rays, blue sharks and sea lions. After a unique snorkeling experience in the Galapagos Islands, you will get back on the boat and head to Puerto Villamil.
In the afternoon we will visit El Muro de las Lágrimas, known in english as the Wall of Tears, is one of the most important historic sites in the Galapagos Islands.There is a rich, and interesting human history to the Galapagos Islands that often gets overshadowed by the amazing wildlife, so we highly encourage you to visit some of the more historic sites around the islands, you can access to this site by a sandy path, which turns to rough gravel, snaking along close to the shoreline, just outside of Puerto Villamil. There are many lookouts, beaches, mangroves and other attractions along the way. Depending on the time of year you visit, there may be lush green vegetation along the way, and around the wall, or it may be a more brown, dry experience as in most of the photos in this post.
