Santa Fe Island, also called Barrington Island, is a small island of 24 sq. km. which lies in the centre of the Galapagos archipelago, to the south west of Santa Cruz Island. Geologically it is one of the oldest, since volcanic rocks of about 4 millions years old have been found. The vegetation of the island is characterized by the presence of the largest species of the giant Opuntia cactus.

The visitor site is a wet landing located in Barrington Bay on the northeastern side of the island. Large numbers of sea lions are found on the beaches in the bay, ocassionally hindering peregrination to the two trails leading from the beach.
