The El Radar Viewpoint (Mirador de la Bahía) hike in Isabela Island is a short but beautiful hike you can do after arriving at the Wall of Tears.

The Wall of Tears is a stone wall built between 1946 and 1959 by inmates of the former Isabela Penitentiary Colony. Here hundreds of prisoners were forced to work under extreme circumstances. They built this wall for no other purpose than to be punished. While enduring this hardship many people died.

On your way to El Radar Viewpoint, there are other beautiful viewpoints like the Wall of Tear’s viewpoint, some meters after the wall.

From all of them, you can have a beautiful view of Isabela island’s beachfront and its green landscape.
