Likewise we will have the iconic presence of Opuntia cacti and on many occasions seabirds such as the blue-footed booby. As a second activity we do two snorkeling times around the reef area (45 minutes per snorkeling), where you can make an impressive appreciation of a marine fauna stocked by a number of endemic species. Lunch on board takes place between these activities. C ) Pinzon Tour: We board the boat and travel to Pinzón Island in a journey of approximately an hour and a half.
