Located on the west coast of San Cristóbal, Cerro Brujo was one of the first locations visited by Darwin. The volcanic cone of Cerro Brujo looks over a beautiful white sandy beach which teems with sea lions, pelicans, blue-footed boobies, waders and marine iguanas. (BLD)
The southernmost island and the only nesting site of the Waved Albatross. At Punta Suarez, see mockingbirds, Blue-footed and Masked Boobies, Darwin Finches, Galapagos Doves and Hawks, red and green marine iguanas, sea lions and the famed Blow Hole. (BLD)
At Point Cormorant you'll find more than 50 volcanic cones in a 80 mile area, pink flamingos, clear water and interesting coral formations, making this a perfect spot for snorkeling. We'll also visit Post Office Bay, where 18th century whalers used a barrel as an unofficial mail drop, and this custom still continues today. (BLD)
The central island in the Galapagos and home to the main port, Puerto Ayora and the Charles Darwin Research Station, which you will visit during your tour. The largest town in Galapagos hosts numerous hotels, restaurants, shops, a post office, a small supermarket and two diving companies.
A 2.5 km walk will bring you to one of the best beaches in the Galapagos, Tortuga Bay. Trips can be made to the "Parte Alta", or the high ground behind Puerto Ayora to visit the incredible lava tunnels, the tortoise reserve at Bellavista and the Gemelos, two twin craters. A paved road now crosses the island connecting the port with the main airport in the archipelago on the island of Baltra. A five minute boat crossing between Baltra and Santa Cruz completes the bus journey to the airport for your flight back to Guayaquil or Quito.
