appearance like the land and marine iguanas. The penguins and sea
lions can be seen swimming in the blue sea. Most of the birds of the
archipelago are endemic such as blue footed and masked boobies,
Galapagos hawks, pelicans, finches of Darwin. The cleared flamingos
that have made of the islands a special habitat, the frigates and
cormorants, are some samples of the wonders animals of this natural
laboratory. In addition to an impressive flora endemic and unique in
