The Wall of Tears
By Linda Tancs
The Wall of Tears is a historical site located in Isabela Island, the most popular and largest of the Galapagos Islands. It was built by prisoners sent to the island and is composed of lava rocks. Debate ensues whether the unfinished wall had any real purpose other than to occupy the time of the prisoners, many of whom died from injuries, accidents and exposure (hence, the name). The site is a popular hiking and biking area with lookouts and frequent sightings of giant tortoises and iguanas.
