The Galapagos Islands are the product of many eruptions of submarine volcanoes. Due to their peculiar location they have developed flora and unique fauna in the world, of a beauty impossible to believe. For this reason they are one of the favorite places of all the tourists who love the wild species.
Although the islands are located on the equator, the temperature of the ocean varies greatly between 7 and 28 degrees depending on the season. Its weather is greatly influenced by the temperature of ocean currents, which creates microclimates that alter the particular environments of the flora and fauna of each island. The islands also suffer climatic changes and almost every season has its characteristics.
The period from January to March is the months with the highest temperature and humidity, March being the hottest month of the year. In the humid season plants abound, and the pleasant sea temperature is perfect for marine sports. From July to September we observe less rain and the islands are drier, but cooler, the sea temperature drops considerably, but it is the ideal season to observe more aquatic fauna, since the animals prefer the cold currents.

Dragon Hill: It has its name because to for a long time, was one of the few places in the Santa Cruz Island where were land iguanas in healthy state. This place was part of varied efforts to maintain the colonies of iguanas, in order to ensure their reproduction. At present there are no dogs in Dragon Hill, although the Galapagos National Park carries out a lot of controls of other animals that can be dangerous. In the beautiful lagoons present in this site, there is shrimp (Artemia salina), the same as the food of the flamingos. At certain times of the year there is more abundance and therefore the quantity of these birds is larger. In times with many precipitations the water becomes too sweet and therefore the population of crustaceans is smaller, which has consequences on the amount of flamingos. Dragon Hill has been open to the general public since 1993. The beach has rocky formations. At high tide it is an excellent sector to do surface diving.
