Unlike the other islands in the Galapagos Archipelago, Santa Fé o Barrington island is not volcanically active. The island has no fresh water and has never been inhabited.
It is a small island that lacks fresh water; However, there are a lot of goats that can be seen in long lines walking along the edge of the cliff. They say the settlers who survive because they have adapted to drink seawater.
One reason this island is preferred among naturalistic guides in the Galapagos National Park is that it is an extraordinary place to do "snorkeling" or apnea, with a possibility inside the landing Bay and another in the next bay leaving to the right.
This is an island located southeast of Santa Cruz Island, approximately two hours from Puerto Ayora. The landing is wet on any of the two beaches located in the center of the bay.
