Explore Isabela’s natural and cultural diversity in an experience that connects three unique ecosystems:
Tintoreras Islet: Volcanic formations covered in marine iguanas, surrounded by calm waters where the famous “tintoreras” sharks rest.
Arnaldo Tupiza Breeding Center: a conservation center that protects and breeds Isabela’s endemic giant tortoises.
Wetland Complex: a network of trails through mangroves, lagoons, and viewpoints home to flamingos, coastal birds, and unique species.
A half-day tour (or full-day depending on the itinerary), in a small group and accompanied by expert local guides.
