Puerto Egas is a black sandy beach located on the west side of James Bay, northwest of Santiago  Island. The site gets its name after Mr. Héctor Egas, who tried to exploit the salt found in this area,  however failed due to the price of salt in other parts of the country. 

The hike along the rugged coastline, especially during low tides, will allow us to observe many marine  species, such as the iguanas relaxing on the rocks, and the sea lions resting in the tidal pools. 

We will have the opportunity to snorkel near the beach of Puerto Egas in order to enjoy the marine  landscape that is relatively different from previously visited locations. 

P.M.
In the afternoon we will visit Rábida Island, said to be unique due to the red color of its rocks and  sand. The volcanic material on this island is very porous and external factors such as rain, saltwater  and sea breeze have acted as an oxidizing agent. When we arrive, we will enjoy a snorkeling  activity, in order to learn about the marine life in this area, that is full of interesting aquatic species. 

A short walk along a trail will take us to a lagoon to observe the beautiful terrestrial birds, such as  finches, pigeons, yellow warblers and mocking birds. This lagoon is also home to a colony of  flamingos. The red sand beach, along with the animals, lagoons, and vegetation make this place an  excellent location to visit.
