Wall of Tears

Galápagos Province, Ecuador

The Wall of Tears (El Muro de las Lágrimas) is a historical site 5 km west of Puerto Villamil on Isabela Island in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. It is one of the few remaining vestiges of the penal colony that existed on Isabela Island between 1946 and 1959. Since then, it has become a local landmark and sightseeing destination for tourists.
