On the west coast of the Perry Isthmus, you can explore the narrowing inlet crowded by mangroves of ELIZABETH BAY by panga from your tour boat. This is a great place to spot marine wildlife; turtles, reef sharks, sea lions and rays all favour the cold, nutrient-rich waters. Herons look on from their perches in the tangled mangroves as blue-footed boobies dive bomb the secluded channels, and shearwaters skim the surface of the sea. Tour boats usually anchor at the tiny Mariela islands at the mouth of the bay, a good place to see Galapagos penguins . PUNTA MORENO , around 30km west of Elizabeth Bay is one of the remotest visitor sites in the islands, and, as such, one of the least seen. An enormous flow of pahoehoe lava unfurls into the distance, broken by fissures and peppered with brackish water-holes ringed by reeds and buzzing with insects. These are the few sources of life in a virtually sterile landscape, and support flamingos, herons, moorhens and white-cheeked pintails .
