Isabela Island
Vicente Roca Point

Here the remnants of an ancient volcano form two turquoise coves with a bay well protected from the ocean swells. The spot is a popular anchorage from which to explore the cliffs, where masked and blue-footed boobies perch while flightless cormorants inhabit the shoreline. The upwelling of coldwater currents in this part of the Galápagos give rise to an abundance of marine life, which make Punta Vicente Roca one of the archipelago’s sought after dive spots.

Highlights:	Sheltered coves and abundant marine life
Animals:	Masked and blue-footed boobies, flightless cormorants, sea lions, pelicans, penguins
