Ecuador Iguana of Tintoresas Island

Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot

This little island Tintoresas is just in front of the main harbor (Puerto Villamil) of Isabela Island. It is a nature refuge for Iguana that piles on rocks and allows easy close portraits.
You will also find some nice Galapagos-colored crab.

Photography Tips

All lenses work. Telephoto to isolate details with low depth of field but wide angle can work as well. The iguana blends with the rocks as both are dark. Therefore you need to be careful to not have your camera meter overexposed.

Travel Information

500m ride from the harbor - easy with many small boat tours.

Spot Type Outdoor
