2-Day Puerto Lopez & Isla de La Plata

• Its name comes from the legend that the English explorer Sir Francis Drake buried a chestful of silver here in the sixteenth century – never discovered, of course.Today, the island’s fame derives more from its large population of marine birds, and beautiful cliffs attracting many visitors. Commonly known between Ecuadorians and visitors as : Poor man’s Galapagos, because of its resemblance with the Enchanted Islands and how close it is to mainland. But this hackneyed phrase doesn’t do the island justice; it’s the only place in Ecuador – including the Galapagos – where blue-footed, red-footed and masked boobies are living together, as well as sea lions. Visits usually include some snorkeling, which provides a glimpse of a fabulous array of colorful fish. You might also spot dolphins and manta rays on the boat ride.
