From dramatically rugged cliff edges to lakes underneath volcanoes, the Galápagos Islands have landmark attractions for everyone.
Darwin Lake
Named after Charles Darwin’s iconic expedition, this highly picturesque and dream-like lagoon is a landscape like no other. Situated at the end of a two-kilometre path on Isabela Island, the lake sits within a tuff cone of the mighty Volcán Darwin that can be seen from the lake, whilst a flurry of sea birds, such as Galápagos penguins and flightless cormorants, can also be observed.
Kicker Rock
Characterised by its signature boot-like shape and dramatically rugged cliff edges caused by centuries of erosion, the unique rock formation is a prime location for some of the best marine life the archipelago has to offer, making it the ideal place for snorkelling enthusiasts. Located near San Cristóbal Island, it also offers beautifully undisturbed beaches perfect for optimal relaxation.
Wall of Tears
Snaking through the undulating hills of Isabela Island, the Wall of Tears is a sombre but riveting reminder of the many prisoners sent to the island in the 1940s and 50s, who built the wall by hand over 14 years to surround their own prison. The wall is accessible via a short route that follows the shoreline near Puerto Villamil
