At the entrance to the Gulf of Guayaquil and in front of the island Puná is this small island, where its main inhabitants are thousands of seabirds, the main reason for its declaration as a refuge of wildlife. In it, frigates, blue-footed and pelicans find places to eat, rest, Woo and nest. The protected area includes the Santa Clara Island, the surrounding islets and two nautical miles around it. The island and islets are interconnected by a platform on which you can walk at low tide. The abundance of nutrients in its waters is the explanation for the great marine productivity that has been reported: one of the highest in the continental coast of Ecuador and where countless species of commercial interest converge.
From Guayaquil: To enter this area, follow the road to Machala (186 km). In this city you must head to Puerto Bolívar Pier (7 km), to take a boat. Boats take two hours to the island.
