Isabela Canton

The district of the largest island in the Galápagos, where active volcanoes, marine tunnels, and wildlife are right before your eyes.

Isabela Canton is located in the western part of the Galápagos Islands in Ecuador, with Isabela Island, the largest in the archipelago, as its main body, and Puerto Villamil as its center. The Los Tuneles snorkeling area is famous for its lava arches, sea turtles, and seahorses. Las Tintoreras islet offers sightings of sharks and marine iguanas, while Concha de Perla is ideal for snorkeling. Sierra Negra and Chico volcanoes can be hiked, and the Giant Tortoise Breeding Center, Flamingo Lagoon, and the historic Wall of Tears are all near the town. It can be visited year-round, with warmer weather from December to May and cooler water temperatures from June to November. Visitors usually arrive by speedboat from Santa Cruz Island, though small planes are also available. Many attractions must be visited with a licensed guide.
