What to do in Puerto Villamil
The quiet town of Villamil is the westernmost village in the Galapagos Islands. More than a century after it was founded, it still maintains its original charm as a small fishing village, but has grown just enough to feature luxurious boutique hotels and a number of local attractions that can be easily accessed from the town, including:

• The Tortoise Breeding Center – A breeding center where tortoises are raised from egg to maturity and kept in pens where they can be easily seen and cared for.
• Flamingo Lagoon – A brackish lagoon where flamingos and other landbirds frequently feed.
• The Wall of Tears – A harrowing reminder of the time when Isabela was used as a penal colony and the prisoners were forced to labor building a wall of lava rock.
• The Wetlands – A network of lagoons and mangroves that form a fascinating biosphere between the land and sea.
• Las Tintoreras – A great place for a panga ride where reef sharks patrol the turquoise waters.
• Concha de Perla Beach – A relaxing, sun-kissed beach great for soaking in the sun or catching a wave on a surfboard.
• Sierra Negra Volcano – The active volcano that features a phenomenal caldera that stretches 10-km across.
• Volcan Chico – A neighboring volcano to the Sierra Negra where sulfur fields make for an other-worldly landscape.
