Early history

The island group of San Hermanos was inhabited by Mesoamerican tribes prior to its discovery. In 1499 four Spanish brothers set out to find new land, but three of them died during the long sea voyage. San Hermanos was discovered by the surviving brother, Garcia Moreno, in 1501. Garcia named the islands after himself and his brothers Fraco, Sal and Tori and dubbed the entire island group San Hermanos meaning Saint Brothers.
