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.
