Introduction

The Plazas are two small crescent-shaped islands located just a few hundred metres off the eastern coast of Santa Cruz.  North Plaza is set aside wholly for research and conservation and is consequently not accessible to visitors.

South Plaza is surprisingly rich in flora and fauna, making it a popular choice for a visitor. There is a single nature trail providing visitors with a wealth of wildlife encounters and makes for a very enjoyable and leisurely walk through both the dry and coastal vegetation zones.  South Plaza harbours a considerable population of larger than average land iguanas which can be spotted in almost any location on the island.

South Plaza is an island we can take you to on some of our Wildlife Yacht Safaris, on a boat based or land based section of a Galapagos Yacht & Lodge Safari, or offshore for diving on a Land Based Diving Holiday or extension.
