Española Island
Española is probably one of the most fascinating islands in the Galápagos. For our guests it is their first full day, and they look at us very strangely when we tell them to bring enough film rolls for pictures, or another memory card, or extra charged batteries. The incredible number of birds and diversity that you can find in this place is amazing. At the end of this visit, our guests come close to us; place their hands on our shoulders and say, “You were right. I took almost two hundred pictures!”
Española is an uplifted island with beautiful cliffs, deep waters, and strong currents from Peru which bring a lot of nutrients; an ideal place for many marine birds such as albatross, boobies, tropic birds, shearwaters, storm petrels, etc.
Galápagos is a marine reserve since 1998. All of its resources are protected; it is a sanctuary for marine mammals and one of the safest places on Earth for swimming with sharks. There are 32 species of them and none is considered dangerous for human beings, as you can see here: a white-tipped shark with some of our guests.
