Itinerary
The tour to Las Tintoreras, located near Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island, is an experience of approximately 2 to 3 hours that combines sailing, hiking and snorkeling. During the short boat crossing from the port, it is common to spot Galapagos penguins, blue-footed boobies and sea lions. When landing on the islet, a hike of about 35 minutes takes place on volcanic lava formations, where you can observe marine iguanas, local birds and natural channels that host whitetip sharks, known locally as "dyers". Subsequently, a snorkeling session takes place in calm and crystal clear waters, offering the opportunity to swim alongside oily fish, sea turtles, manta rays and, occasionally, sea lions.

About Puerto Villamil
Puerto Villamil, the small port of Isabela island in the Galápagos, is a sandy-streeted village beside a long pale beach, flamingo lagoons and lava.
Puerto Villamil is a small town on the south-east coast of Isabela, the largest island of the Galápagos, with sand streets and a long beach of pale sand backed by palms, where marine iguanas lie on the lava rocks. The town is named for José Villamil, who organised Ecuador's first settlement in the islands in 1832.
