The main inhabitants of the rocky islets that are surrounded by mangroves are marine iguanas and sea lions. A trail on one of the islets leads through aa lava flows and some sandy beach areas. Towards the end of the trail, there is a small channel with crystal-clear water where you can see whitetip and blacktip reef sharks. These reef sharks are called tintoreras in Spanish, hence the name of the islet. |
