SITE OVERVIEW

Considered one of the most historic sites on Floreana Island, The Baroness Lookout was named after one of the more colorful characters among the early twentieth-century settlers. Within walking distance, search through the ruins of what is known as the “House of the Baroness”. Eloise Bosquet de Wagner Wehrborn, the self-proclaimed baroness of the island, lived there with her two lovers. Learn about the murder mystery involving her disappearance that has yet to be solved. Afterward, take a short hike to the top of the hill and soak in the impressive landscape that makes up Floreana Island.
