Tuesday - Caja de Muertos was named because someone thought the shape of the island resembled a coffin.  It was a beautiful island and being the only people on the island with the exception of 2 park rangers made it special.   We took the hot walk up to the lighthouse on the highest point where the cooling trade winds and magnificent views were enjoyed. The track to the lighthouse would have ben spooky at night as it was cut through a maze of  5 metre high cacti which were covered in spider webs (fitting perhaps for coffin island). The beaches were pristine with a choice of surf on one side or  crystal blue warm water on the other.
