Post Office Bay
Floreana, a fictional town in the 1930s and 1940s that is based on the stories of German settlers who lived there and the baroness. This fascinating tale is filled with murders, mysterious disappearances, and unsolved crimes.
Whalers used the bay to anchor and then go to higher elevations for freshwater or tortoises. The majority of boats that visited the Galapagos eventually had to stop here, and a mail system was set up more than two centuries ago. A barrel on the beach served as a way for ships to communicate with each other or the rest of the world. The mail system, which is still used today, allows you to send postcards outside the Galapagos.
The area has a beautiful small beach, a lava tube, and is perfect for boat tours. You can look out for small sharks, sea lions (or sea otters), shorebirds or Galapagos Penguins.
Cormorant Point a Devil's Crown
Punta Cormorant, located north of Floreana, is famous for its lagoon, which is home to American flamingos, pintails with white cheeks, and black-necked Stilts. The beach is white and is an important nesting area for green turtles. We can see reef sharks, rays and a lot of flamingos. A small group of blue-footed boobies has started breeding right next to the trail in the past few years. It is also an excellent trail for endemic plant viewing.
