Things to see in Ecuador & Galapagos: Isabela

By far the largest island and home to some 6,000 Galapagos tortoises around the volcanic slopes. There is an interesting uplifted coral reef and the brackish lagoons host egrets, flamingos and white-cheeked pintails. South American fur seals are common around the coastline as are Galapagos penguins and iguanas.
