DAY 3
**Floreana – Pirate Caves – Birdwatching – Snorkeling Enderby Is. – Champion Is.**
Floreana is the richest of the islands in history and legends, perhaps because it was the first island to be populated. We will get a **Chiva ride** to the Highlands where we find caves, They were used by **Pirates** and other visitors throughout the history of the islands. We will walk through this history and the traces they left behind...and have a picnic lunch outside the cave.
Later, we visit one of the most exquisite marine areas of Galapagos, the bay located between the islets of **Champion** and **Enderby**. The calm waters and fertile shores here attract a variety of species to swim and feed in the area. Marine turtles, tropical fish, and starfish can all be appreciated. We will snorkel here for about an hour.
After all these activities, we´ll go to Isabela to spend the night at Campo Duro, and do camping between Giant Tortoises and nature.

Formed by volcanic eruptions over millions of years, they are located a very remote 600 miles off the coast of Ecuador. These islands remain shockingly unspoilt and are where Charles Darwin invented the theory of evolution after studying the islands' many different species of Finches. Thus, the islands remain of high scientific importance. e fact they are located so far from the coast and weren't inhabited by humans until 150 years ago, has helped the hundreds of species of animals develop over 1000's of years without the slightest fear of human beings.This fearless wildlife is unmistakably one of the biggest reasons to visit as truly no where else on the planet will one encounter animals in their original, natural, wild habitat that are absolutely not bothered in the least by the presence of humans. In fact, in the case of land iguana, you have to be careful not to step on them because many just refuse to move!The species found on Galapagos are often endemic, meaning they cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Some of these include land tortoises, the Galapagos Penguin (the 2nd smallest in the world), land and marine iguanas, Darwin Finches, the famous Blue-footed Booby and it's cousin the Red-footed Booby.harks (Galapagos shark, white tipped shark and the extremely rare and fascinating Hammerhead, among others). For birds, a small sample include Frigates and its similar cousin the Cormorant, Flamingos, Pelicans, the enormous Albatross. The water is of course crystal clear and the snorkeling and diving there is among the best in the world (ask any expert!).
