The Wall of Tears (El Muro de las Lágrimas) is a historical site located on Isabela Island in the Galápagos archipelago, Ecuador. Constructed between 1945 and 1959, the wall was built by prisoners from a penal colony established on the island. The structure, made of large volcanic rocks, stands as a somber reminder of the harsh conditions and forced labor endured by the inmates.
