Introduction
Isla Isabel is a volcanic island off San Blas, declared a national park in 1980. A hypersaline crater lake, black rock shores and surrounding reefs make its geology unusual, but its real significance is as a seabird colony: blue-footed and brown boobies, frigatebirds and several terns nest here with little fear of people, earning it the nickname Mexico's little Galapagos. There are no hotels, restaurants, power or internet. Landing requires a CONANP-authorised boat and is capped, so a visit is essentially a protected-area trip that must be arranged ahead.
