South Plaza Island
One of the smallest and, depending on the season, most colorful islands. Find sea lion colonies, land and hybrid iguanas, and countless birds soaring by the cliffs. It is an unpopulated island.
These islands are interesting formations without a volcano resulting from an uplifting from underwater. As confirmed by two islands, one flat and the other inclined, they create very special ecosystem dynamics. North Plaza is visited only for scientific and conservation purposes.
The biggest Land Iguana population that can be visited. There is a big ecosystem formed of Cactus Opuntia that holds a population of Land Iguanas, the smallest ones in the archipelago. The trip around South Plaza place allows the visitor to see the whole population and to notice how this animal survived in this and other similar environments when they arrived and were established. Rarely a hybrid of Marine and Land Iguana can be found on the trails.
In South Plaza, there is a large colony of the smaller-sized land iguanas. The population is approximately 300 individuals. They feed on all kinds of vegetation, but during the dry season, they survive on the fruits and flowers of Opuntia cacti. Due to their proximity to marine iguanas, this is the only place on Earth where we will find the Galapagos hybrid iguana.
