Plaza Sur, or South Plaza Island, is just off the east coast of Santa Cruz and is one of the smallest of the Galapagos Islands that welcomes visitors. It is rich in wildlife and plant life, so visitors will have plenty to explore during their visit. Take a tour to the sea lion colony, see the variety of birds that inhabit the steep cliffs, or watch for lava lizards and land iguanas waiting to eat a piece of prickly pear that may fall in their path. Those who want the opportunity to see more of the amazing plants and animals on the island can venture through the hiking trails that are scattered across the island. On your trek, be sure to stop and take in the view of the cliff top surroundings, and get a glimpse of North Plaza Island.
