Ecuador - Exploring Isla de la Plata (Silver Island)
Ecuador sightseeing, attractions and online travel guide
|
|
Unfairly dismissed by many as ‘the poor man’s Galapagos’, Isla de la Plata is situated only 17miles off the coast and is home to many similar species to those of its world famous cousin. Its name ‘Silver Island’ is derived from the legend that Sir Francis Drake buried treasure there. Surrounding the island are numerous reefs, which has made it a favourite amongst scuba divers and snorkellers. Prime times to visit are from June to September when there is a chance to see humpback whales and dolphins on their annual migration from the Antarctica to the coast of Colombia.
