Your Travel Experience with South American Tours DMC
The excursion to “Las Tintoreras” takes place after breakfast on a group basis. After a short boat trip from Puerto Villamil, you will reach the small rocky island of “Las Tintoreras”. During a short walk here, you will see hundreds of marine iguanas on the rocks, which have their main nesting site here. In a lava channel, whitetip sharks often come to rest here, often accompanied by other sharks and sea lions. Sea lions sunbathe on the sandy beaches you pass on your walk. Afterwards, you can discover the underwater world during a snorkeling activity. During the return trip, with a bit of luck you may also see penguins and blue-footed boobies sitting on the surrounding rocks.
Finally, you will visit a fallow water lagoon of flamingos, “Pozo de los Flamingos”, where you have the rare chance to observe these animals up close and get to know “Los Humedales”, an approximately 5km long path through wetlands.
Enjoy your dinner in a local restaurant.
