You'll also visit The Estero, a 227-meter-long path surrounded by 1.5-meter-wide lava rock. This site displays the four mangrove species found in the Galapagos. The journey continues to La Poza Escondida, a stone and wood path with the main attraction being a mangrove forest and a pool at the end. The next stop is Poza Redonda, a 50-meter-long path.
The journey continues to Mirador de Los Tunos and Pozas Verdes, viewpoints where visitors can observe birds and plants.
