San Cristobal Island tours
|
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno
|
|
The Capital of the Galapagos Islands (population
4,000) and the oldest settlement. In 1985, an airstrip was built for
flights to the mainland serviced by SAN Airlines. A small naval museum,
souvenir shops and houses make up this small bayside village. Many tours
begin and end their journey here. |
Kicker Rock
|
|
It is a magnificent rock in the middle of the sea. Rising 500 feet
straight from the ocean, this giant uplifted rock has the shape of a
sleeping lion. It has a split with towering vertical walls on either
side, forming a narrow channel through which small vessels can navigate. |
Isla Lobos
|
|
 Heading up the coast from Wreck Bay and Puerto
Baquerizo, you will see Isla Lobos across a small channel off the coast
of San Cristobal. The basalt island outcropping lives up to its name of
"Sea Lion Island" with a noisy population of frolicking and barking
beasts. It is also a nesting place for blue-footed boobies and an
excellent spot for snorkeling. |
Punta Pitt
|
|
It is one of the two places where you can see a whole
colony of red-footed boobies (the other one is on Tower Island). See
also masked boobies, hawks and sea lions. |
