Isla de la Plata

From Ayampe, our refugium on the coast, it was a 20-minutes collectivo (shared taxi) ride to Puerto Lopez, the starting point of two tours we did.
The first one was „Isla de la Plata“ (aka Silver Island) or also known as the Galapagos for the poor. Like us. Haha.
After an 1h boat ride, we arrived.
The island was not as green as expected, but still with a beautiful coastline. We saw lizards, small snakes and most of all: boobies (that’s their real name!).
Those funny birds with incredibly blue feet were everywhere!
After a small hike to see them, we did some snorkeling and it was amazing. So many colorful and big fish, mantas and corals.
The Galapagos for the poor was totally worth a visit!Læs mere
