Floreana Island is considered one of the most historic islands in the Galapagos, as it has been the site of many notable events, such as unsuccessful colonization experiments, mysteries, and legendary love stories! In 1929, an eccentric German baroness named Eloise von Wagner Bosquet arrived on Floreana Island with her companion, a so-called Austrian doctor named Philippson. They proclaim themselves lords of the island and attempt to build an estate to live on, but have little success. They are soon joined by other adventurers, including a Swiss couple named Rudolf and Dore Strauch. Rudolf falls in love with the baroness, but she does not share his feelings. Philippson became jealous and began to threaten Rudolf. Then, in 1932, the baroness mysteriously disappears. Philippson pretends that she has gone on a scientific expedition, but it is soon discovered that she has been murdered. The exact circumstances of her death remain unclear, but Rudolf and Dore Strauch are suspected of being involved. Soon after, Philippson also disappears, and the Strauchs leave the island soon after. The story of the Baroness of Wagner remains an unsolved mystery, but it has inspired many books and documentaries about the mysteries of the Galapagos! Floreana Island is also known for its rich natural and cultural history, with cultural heritage sites, pristine beaches, lagoons and mountains.
