Isabela Attractions

Isabela was founded in 1819 and named in honor of Queen Isabel of Spain. Isabela (population 39,147, area 55sq.mi/146sq.km) is also known as the "Garden of the Northwest". The countryside is comprised of beaches, coral islets, salt flats and dunes. Depending on the direction you take, the scenery just outside of Isabela may be comprised of the hills and valleys of Karst Country, the seaside cliffs that rise 60m / 200ft above the coastline, or savanah like areas.

Isabela itself doesn't warrant much time but can serve as a nice base or stopping point.
