PUNTA VICENTE ROCA

Punta Vicente Roca- Isabela Island

Vicente Roca Point has great deep-water snorkeling at one of the richest marine havens on Earth (Bolivar Channel). We take a dinghy ride along the coast to observe a great diversity of sea and coastal birds; Nazca and blue-footed boobies, noddies, brown pelicans, penguins, flightless cormorants. The upwelling of coldwater currents in this part of the Galapagos gives rise to an abundance of marine life.[:es]Este es un sitio espectacular para los visitantes, rodeado de inmensos acantilados del volcán erosionado. Salpicados de aves marinas en reposo, como noddies marrones y piqueros de Nazca, los disfrutaremos muy cerca de nuestros botes. El esnórquel aquí es excelente, con ciertas especies de peces que solo se encuentran en el oeste del archipiélago. También tenemos una posibilidad muy real de nadar con pingüinos y, potencialmente, una gran cantidad de tortugas verdes.
