In the middle of Santa Cruz and San Cristóbal (Southern eastern side of the archipelago) lies Santa Fé, also known as Barrington Island. The island formed the same way as many Hawaiian islands through volcanic uprisings. The island has its own unique forms of land iguanas and an Arizonian stark and barren looking landscape of cactus.
If you take a swim here you'll be greeted by a playgroup of sea lions that interact joyfully with the human.
