Situated towards the northeast of the archipelago, Genovesa, or Tower Island, presents a paradise for enthusiastic ornithologists and photographers alike. It is no wonder that locals call this area a bird paradise—over 200,000 red-footed boobies nest here because of the proximity of the island to their feeding sites. During a short stroll on the white sandy beach, you can observe these pelagic birds, along with colonies of magnificent frigatebirds, great frigatebirds and Nazca boobies. The only reptile found here is the marine iguana, which is considered the smallest species of iguana in the Galapagos. Overall, this location provides excellent photographic opportunities with the multitudes of birds scattered across the whole island.
