SITE OVERVIEW

Take in the panoramic views of the island as you trek up to the highlands of Floreana. Along the way, observe endemic birds and plants in one of the richest locations on Floreana Island. The unique vegetation found in the area makes it one of the main attractions—of 48 species of identified plants, 56% are native and 33% are endemic. This site also offers a good opportunity to find Darwin’s finches, including the medium tree finch, a species considered critically endangered and found only on Floreana. Along the walk back, you can stop at the island’s main cemetery and view the graves of famous settlers.
