Seymour Norte & Las Bachas
Seymour Norte& Las Bachas
Lying just to the north of Baltra, Seymour is a small island consisting of uplifted submarine lava. It is covered with a forest of Dwarf Palo Santo trees and is the breeding site of both frigatebirds and two of the boobies.
The trails lead from the small dock along the coast, past an area where Marine Iguanas nest and then loops into the Palo Santo forest past nesting frigatebirds and both Nazca and Blue footed Boobies.
The Land Iguanas here are actually from Baltra from where they were brought in the 1930’s. Some have recently been returned to Baltra as the original population was wiped out during the period that Baltra was a US military base. You can often see young Sea Lions surfing in the large waves off the rocky beach.
