For our last day, we anchored in Darwin Bay on Genovesa Island, known as “Bird Island.” We started our morning with a walk along the beach, where a mangrove serves as a refuge for a diverse group of marine birds, including frigatebirds, gulls, and boobies. We complemented our wonderful morning with snorkeling and kayaking activities.
In the afternoon, we explored the other side of this horseshoe-shaped bay, a place known as “El Barranco.” We visited the famous Prince Philip’s Steps, which took us 25 m up the cliff. We were amazed by a beautiful colony of seabirds and a raptor species, the short-eared owl.
