Today was the last day of exploration on the western Island of Isabela where we visited Urbina Bay and Tagus Cove. During the morning we visited a place that was uplifted long ago leaving all the coral and shells out of the water. We also discovered here a good number of land iguanas and giant tortoises. In the afternoon we moved to a historical place called Tagus Cove which was a popular place for whalers and buccaneers to find shelter, water, food and whales.
