Punta Cormorant
|
|
 Punta
Cormorant has two contrasting beaches. A short walk inland and the trail
comes to a brackish lagoon. This is home to one of the biggest
populations of flamingos in the archipelago, these pink residents spend
about 7 hours a day or more eating, and so take some binoculars to watch
the ballet of necks as they gracefully move back and fourth, scouring
the floor of the lagoon for little shrimp. |
Devil's Crown
|
|
The Devil's Crown is a volcanic crater near Floreana
that has been eroded by the waves. Here snorkelers are immersed in a
world of color and movement filled with schools of fish that move as
one: king angelfish, yellowtail surgeonfish, and needlefish. There are
also sea
stars, sea urchins, sleeping sharks, turtles, rays and many more, making
this one of the best snorkeling sites in the Galapagos. |
Post Office Bay
|
|
Post Office Bay is located along a white sand beach.
Long used by whalers, the post office barrel has been in use since 1793.
Today primarily tourists use the post office barrel, leaving a handful
of postcards and in turn collecting postcards left by others.
Traditionally it is expected that people will take only those mailings
destined for people that they can personally deliver to, but these days
people often settle for someone from their own country, and simply add
postage and drop things in the mail upon their return home. |
