Islas Secas offers unparalleled access to this extraordinary corner of the world, with immersive, responsible activities where guests can experience everything from endemic tropical birds and soaring frigates, to giant manta rays, humpback whales and kaleidoscopic schools of reef fish.

Plant Life

Our careful and considered construction has ensured that as little of the flora of Isla Cavada, the main island, has been disturbed as possible. The result is a feeling of immersion in the lush, tropical foliage, which includes rare species. We are also removing invasive, non-endemic plants across the archipelago while repopulating the islands with thousands of native plants, carefully restoring the areaā€™s ecological balance.
