”To appreciate a river, mountain or forest for the challenge
it poses is to miss the real adventure in Nature travel:
To appreciate the complexities of things beyond ourselvs.”

ISABELA ISLAND

This island was formed by five independent volcanoes that came together to form the largest of the islands and has the highest elevation as well. The northwest coast of the island is a sanctuary for whales; along with moderate hikes to Darwin Lake make this visit worthwhile.
