Isla Isabela (Caleta Tagus), Galapagos Islands Cruise Port

• Visitors interested in geographic features and volcanoes should take the time to visit the Sierra Negra Volcano. It is one of the five volcanoes found on the island and boasts of having the second largest caldera in the world, which is best explored on a hike.
   
• Birdwatchers and photographers should visit the Tagus Cove found on the Northwestern side of the island. The cove provided shelter for pirates and whalers, but it is now an excellent spot for viewing land birds, penguins, land iguanas, and giant tortoises. The cove can also be viewed from a dinghy.
   
• Adventurers visiting the island should try going to the Wall of Tears. Hiking to this historical site takes visitors through the island, highlighting the flora and fauna found in the region. The Wall of Tears was a feature built by prisoners on the island to keep them busy.

The center was constructed in 1994 and hosts tortoise species found in the Southern parts of the island where they breed. At the center, visitors can see the old tortoises and young hatchlings.
