Black Turtle Cove, Santa Cruz Island

Black Turtle Cove is a mangrove estuary on the northern shores of Santa Cruz Island in Ecuador's Galapagos Islands. The national park has strict regulations to protect this pristine environment. Tourists may visit the cove via panga but with the engines turned off. Many rays, sea turtles, pelicans and other wildlife live among the mangroves. That is one of the famous places in Galapagos, which is the cave inside there. ()
