Rising Earth
Western Route
San Cristóbal — Santa Cruz — Santiago — Isabela — Fernandina
This route traces the archipelago's western edge — its youngest, rawest terrain. On Isabela and Fernandina, black lava fields and volcanic coastlines are still taking shape, and marine iguanas gather by the hundreds. It's also home to the flightless cormorant, a seabird found only on these two islands .
