Santa Fé Island is named after the Capitulations of Santa Fe, where Christopher Columbus was granted titles and authority for his discoveries. The island pays homage to Admiral Samuel Barrington. With an area of 24 km² and a maximum altitude of 259 meters, Santa Fe boasts the largest forest of Opuntia cactus in the archipelago, along with palo santo trees. The island features a stunning turquoise lagoon and tranquil waters where you can snorkel alongside playful sea lions. Its coastal cliffs provide a habitat for swallow-tailed gulls, petrels, and other tropical bird species. Santa Fe is home to a large population of terrestrial iguanas, including the endemic Santa Fe land iguana, as well as lava lizards.
