GENERAL INFORMATION

FLORA

GALAPAGOS ISLANDS FLORA - GALAPAGOS ISLANDS PLANTS - GALAPAGOS PLANTSThe flora of the islands is equally interesting and diverse. The Galapagos has three marked zones: the littoral zone, the arid zone, and the transition zone. The miconia zone and fern-sedge zone are also found on the islands. Mangroves are the main flora found in the littoral zone, where the plants can tolerate high levels of salt.

Surprisingly, the Galapagos is quite arid, and islands are covered with prickly pear cacti (our land iguanas' favorite treat), the palo santo and acacias among others. The transition zone is where we find the beautiful scalesia tree, endemic to the islands, covered with Spanish moss, lichens and other plants. There are hundreds of plant species and more details available through any number of books about the plants of the islands.
