”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.”

This island is the result of an uplifting that raised the sea floor 259 meters above the sea level. The vegetation of the island is characterized by the presence of the largest species of the giant opuntia cactus.
