Along the way, you will encounter the beautiful blue-footed boobies resting on the rocks, hatching or caring for their young.

Over the bushes, you will observe a large number of frigatebirds. Male frigatebirds have a red chest, which they inflate in order to attract females and mate. These birds are known as the pirates of the sea, as they steal food from other animals.
