Caleta Bucanero

Caleta Bucanero, is located on the northwest side of Santiago and takes its name from the fact that the first navigators, pirates, Buccaneers and later whalers used that island as an anchorage place to beach or hold their boats, look for fresh water in the highest parts of the island volcanic zone and catch giant tortoises to obtain food.

Now, the island Bucanero presents remains of an eroded coast that houses a great variety of marine birds of Galápagos, sea lions and fur seals.
