Afternoon Day 5, Punta Vicente Roca, Isabela

Punta Vicente Roca, Isabela Island

"Vicente Roca is one of the most dramatic of landscapes in the
Galapagos. At the foot of Ecuador Volcano, this is an opportunity
to see first-hand the remains of the caldera and the abundant
wildlife now residing in the area."

Another incredible activity. If only we could continue on and on.

We had an hour's zodiak ride around the area and what a ride.
We saw fur seals, much smaller than the sea lions. We saw

nasca boobies
cormorants
small iguanas,
sea lions

We only saw one small penguin and it would not stand up for
us so it's hard to tell it's a penguin. Yes, penguins at the equator.

The highlight was all the turtles we saw. I was afraid because they
were in the water I wouldn't be able to see them very well, but our

driver got us up real close and personal. A truly "wow" moment.
