Probably the highlight of the national park is Isla De La Plata, also known as the poor man's Galapagos. Don't expect it to literally compare to the Galapagos islands or you'll be disappointed. The wildlife sightings are good though and Albatross, Boobies, sea lions an turtles can be spotted. During July and August, there are daily sighting of migrating whales to be seen off shore too. Tours leave regularly from Puerto Lopez and spend a full day on the island where you take a guided walk around to learn about the native animal species and how the island got it's name.

Isla de la Plata or Island of Silver is the site near which a pirate ship sunk, plunging it's cargo of Bolivian silver to the bottom of the ocean.

Diving excursions are also available from town as are trips on local fishing boats during the wale watching season.
