Genovesa (English also Tower Island ) belongs to the Galápagos Islands and is particularly popular due to its unusual bird life. Many red-footed boobies and three species of Darwin's finches live on the island, which is only 14 km² in size . You can also find red-billed tropical birds and petrels .

The two visitor spots are Prince Phillip's Steps with a cliff trail to many bird nests and Darwin Beach , where you can also go diving.
