2 Best Sights in The Galápagos Islands, Ecuador

Sleepy Puerto Villamil, founded in 1897 as a center for extracting lime, is the focus of Isabela's tourist trade—nearby are several lagoons where flamingos and migratory birds can be viewed up close, as well as beaches with large populations of herons, egrets, and other birds.

Isabela's other community is Santo Tomás, 18 km (11 miles) northwest of Puerto Villamil.
