Puerto Egas beach

Puerto Egas Beach is an unusual black sand beach on the archipelago of Santiago Colon. Tourists visit to see the traces of volcanic activity and to enjoy the unusual landscape.

There are numerous deposits of volcanic tuff along the coast, which result in the formation of an unusual black sand. Puerto Egas is a popular beach in the Galapagos Islands for a relaxing and comfortable stay. There are many animals and birds in the resort that you can enjoy watching. Outdoor enthusiasts can be found scuba diving and walking along the tunnels and rocks that run around the perimeter of the beach.

The coast is long and wide, with frozen black lava on the sides that formed bays and caves that became home to a variety of animals.

If you're looking for a beach vacation, the continental part of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands can be visited all year; however, the months of December to May are the best time to go because the water warms up and the rainy season cools off the sweltering heat.
