Distinctive volcanic island formed by a tuff cone of approximately 0.39 km², located north of Santa Cruz and west of Baltra Airport. Its summit rises approximately 120 m above sea level. .
Sparse and xerophytic vegetation (small cacti, shrubs and palo santo), ideal for understanding adaptation processes in arid environments.
