Isla Magdalena and the bay of the same name are irresistible treats for the nature lover.

Many-including western sandpipers, whimbrels, willets, Wilson's and black-bellied plovers, and marbled godwits-are concluding their southbound journeys here. Observe astounding flora, like the endemic and sideways-growing creeping devil, a columnar cactus thick with spines packed together to protect against herbivores and the relentless sun. This evening, as we exit the bay, be on the lookout for beaked dolphins and, with luck, a humpback whale. ...
