Puerto Velasco Ibarra is a small village located on the island of Floreana. Its population is only around 150 inhabitants. Although Floreana has the smallest population out of the three other inhabited islands, it carries a rich human history. Whalers, buccaneers, and even the great Charles Darwin visited this tiny island. Coming to Puerto Velasco Ibarra is like traveling back in time. Much has remained the same since the 1960s. Even for its small size, Floreana is a launching pad for many activities from hiking and snorkeling to observing unique and incredible wildlife.
