Located in San Cristobal, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, La Loberia is a quality reef break that has both a left and a right, although the right is much better. The waves here are heavy and break for up to 200 metres (656 feet) over a rocky bottom. Big barrels are the name of the game here. Watch out for sea lions.
