This was a quick stop to check out a community of flamingos in a brackish lake. Fun fact: these are the same pink flamingos one finds in the US and Caribbean, and their presence in the Galapagos makes their official term “American flamingo” problematic. Also, check out one of our many sweet-ass Isabelan rides. Though you lack a door handle on the inside (wrench = good enough), you do you yellow Pregio, you do you.
After what was by far the most relaxing boat trip so far (dolphins! video…coming soon), we made it to Isabela. Isabela is just the best. We all agreed we could spend a whole week here. Our hotel, while not actually part of the Red Mangrove complex (yes, we left comment cards), we were otherwise basically within a few feet of free food, drinks, a gorgeous beach, sundry shops, and a view of one of the many volcanoes on the island. And wow, that marina. Crystal clear blue water, animals everywhere, and lots of people milling about getting ready to scuba and snorkel. Isabela is so laid back and conscious of its natural beauty.
