Santa Fe Island Adventure Tours
Santa Fe Island, also called Barrington Island after Admiral Samuel Barrington, is a small island of 24 km² which lies in the center of the Galapagos archipelago, to the southeast of Santa Cruz Island. Volcanic rocks of about 4 million years old have been found, dating it as one of the oldest islands in the archipelago. The vegetation of the island is characterized by brush, palo santo trees, and stands of a large variety of the prickly pear cactus Opuntia echios. Among animals, Santa Fe is home to one endemic species and one endemic subspecies: the Barrington Land Iguana and the Santa Fe Rice Rat. The visitor site is a wet landing located in Barrington Bay on the northeastern side of the island. Large numbers of sea lions are found on the beaches in the bay, occasionally hindering peregrination to the two trails leading from the beach.
