Genovesa Island Galapagos -  The name is derived from Genoa, Italy where it is said Columbus was born. It has an area of 14 square kilometres (5.4 sq mi) and a maximum altitude of 76 metres (249 ft).

This island is formed by the remaining edge of a large crater that is submerged. Its nickname of “the bird island” is clearly justified.

At Darwin Bay, frigatebirds and swallow-tailed gulls, the only nocturnal species of gull in the world, can be seen. Red-footed boobies, noddy terns, lava gulls, tropic birds, doves, storm petrels and Darwin finches are also in sight.

Prince Philip's Steps is a bird-watching plateau with Nazca and red-footed boobies.

There is a large Palo Santo forest.
