The Wall of Tears, located 6 km from Puerto Villamil, is a volcanic stone wall built by prisoners
The Wall of Tears is located 6 km from Puerto Villamil and a pleasant path, rich in history, leads to it from the centre. Between 1946 and 1959, there was a penal colony on the island. As a punishment, the prisoners had to build a wall of volcanic stones, 100 m long and 7 m high, which has become a tourist attraction on the island. By climbing a few steps, you will have a panoramic view of the Wall of Tears. Legend has it that when you listen to the Wall of Tears, you can hear the moans of the prisoners who built it.

Nous avons pu découvrir les belles tortues terrestres des Galapagos. Avec un peu de chance vous en verrez sur le sentier, sinon roulez lentement et ouvrez l'oeil sur les alentours. Nous avons également vu des pélicans et des iguanes en grand nombre.
Nous avons fait une pause baignade et avons nagé avec des bébés requins à pointe blanche. C'était génial.
