Description
South Plaza Island is located on the coast of Santa Cruz Island and is characterized by incredible landscapes.
We will begin our walk with a path through an Opuntia cactus forest. Here you have to be careful where you step because we will find a large number of land iguanas, the smallest in the archipelago! We will continue our walk enjoying the windy and surprising cliff. Here we can see red-billed tropical birds, swallow-tailed gulls, brown pelicans and occasionally frigate birds. The trail winds along the edge of the cliff for a few hundred meters.
We continue our walk and we will find the famous “single sea lion colony”: a heterogeneous collection of male sea lions, mostly elderly, who have lost their territories. Amazingly, they climb the cliff via rock steps.
These places are visited during daily excursions from the island of Santa Cruz aboard one of the following boats:
Each of the ships has a specific schedule. Choose your ship according to the day or the opposite !
