Your Travel Experience with Galapagos PRO
Reservat Los Petreles
The Galapagos Islands are a World Heritage Site and are internationally recognized for their unique biodiversity and high degree of endemism. For this reason, the Los Petreles Reserve was established to protect the Galapagos Petrel, an endangered bird that only nests on five islands in the archipelago.
The Galapagos petrel, various finch species and other endemic species are protected in the reserve. In terms of flora, the Galapagos Miconia forests stand out.
After the visit, accompanied by scientists from the project, you will learn more about the various projects of the Jocotoco Foundation on the Galapagos Islands.
A variety of endemic ferns and perennials grow around the lake, as well as the Miconia robinsoniana - an endemic species only found in San Christobal.
Joctoco Foundation
The Jocoto Foundation is involved in various projects to preserve biodiversity on the Galapagos Islands.
On Floreana, the sixth largest island, they are replanting the inhabited island. It is the largest project on the Galapagos Islands.
They are also creating a new marine reserve that connects the Galapagos Islands with the Cocos Islands in Costa Rica.
