Iguana Crossing

Why we like Iguana Crossing

Strategically placed next to a Galapagos marine iguana highway, the property offers rewarding views of their daily pilgrimages between the beach and the wetlands. Just steps from the sandy beach and dunes, guests can absorb panoramic island vistas from an isolated position, with views to the wildlife reserve and Sierra Negra volcano beyond.

Facilities

• Restaurant serving national and international cuisine
• Bar with panoramic ocean views
• Roof terrace with 360 degree views and jacuzzi
• In-room or beach massages
• Outdoor swimming pool

Activities

In addition to the plethora of self-guided discoveries and opportunities to swim in the pristine ocean waters, there are a number of optional island tours that operate from Iguana Crossing.

Visit a Galapagos tortoise refuge and witness incredible endemic forests, or snorkel with white-tipped reef sharks and playful sealion pups off the coast of the small group of islands called Las Tintoreras. Those with an interest in geology can hike inland to visit the Sierra Negra volcano or cycle to the eerie and intriguing ten-metre-high wall of lava rock known as the Wall of Tears.

Sustainability

Iguana Crossing was created not just as a world-class accommodation, but as a tool to contribute to conservation in the Galapagos Islands. Designed with environmental sustainability in mind, the property is constructed using local materials and actively supports ecological projects that are focused on the preservation of the islands and conservation of biodiversity.
