Punta Espinoza
Include this landing on a western-islands vessel itinerary for close observation of Fernandina's lava-coast wildlife. Its remote location makes it a cruise visit rather than a day trip from Villamil.

Punta Espinoza is a close view of Fernandina's lava coast and the animals adapted to it. Marine iguanas and flightless cormorants give the walk a strong wildlife focus. The western-islands vessel journey is a major part of the logistics, so this belongs to a cruise itinerary rather than a town-based day plan.
What to look for
Marine iguanas gather on dark coastal lava
Flightless cormorants nest beside the shore
Useful to know
Access is on an authorized western-islands vessel itinerary.
