AM: Galapaguera

The Galapaguera is an ideal place for observing Galapagos Tortoises. San Cristobal Island has endemic species like the Mockingbird Nesomimus melanotis (Microlophus Bivittatus), Chatham Leaf Toed Geckos (Phyllodactylus Leei), and tortoises. The beach, which is very large and serves as a breeding zone for the marine tortoises, allows you to see all of these species. It is not uncommon to see the tracks of female tortoises who have scaled the dunes in order to lay their eggs between January and May.

PM: Cerro Brujo

Cerro Brujo has a white, coral-like beach. You can watch sea lions and birds while swimming. Charles Darwin walked the first time on this coast in 1835. You can find seabirds such as blue-footed and Nazca boobies, herons frigate birds, shore birds, etc. in this lava landscape. It is popular for swimming and observing young tortoises in the protected bay.

Fishermen used the pools of salty water that were hidden behind the dunes to store food and preserve it for locals. You can see the Chatham Mockingbird, and San Cristobal Lava Lizard. Both species are endemic and only found on the island.

You can also find an endemic species of bird called the Pajaro Brujo, which is a small, solitary bird that lives on San Cristobal Island. You can see species such as the carob tree and candelabrum trees. Cerro Brujo is located on the northern coast of Isla San Cristobal. It's a beautiful and relaxing place.

AM Gardner Bay

Gardner Bay is located on Hood's north-eastern coastline. This beach is perfect for swimming, snorkeling and kayaking. You can also see sea lions. We can see sharks swimming in crystal-clear ocean water.

PM: Suarez Point

The area offers a great opportunity to see blue-footed, Nazca and albatross boobies. The large, waved albatrosses launch themselves from the cliff on this beautiful oceanfront site. Famous for its magnificent blowhole that shoots water up to at least 50-75 meters in the air, this site is a great place to take pictures. The site offers many photo opportunities.

AM: Cormorant Point

It is one of the biggest and best lagoons in Galapagos. The area is surrounded by two tuff cones, which give it a unique atmosphere. Other than flamingos, there are many species of shorebirds that can be observed. The most common are the white-checked Pintail Ducks and Common Stilts.
The two beaches are very different: the green beach (which is characterized by a high concentration of olivine in its sand), and the flour sand beach, which is composed of coral.

PM: Baroness Lookout & Post Office Bay

This site was historically the place where a crew from a whaling vessel placed a barrel of wood in the 18th Century. Since then, it has been used as a postal service by tourists and mariners. It is intended to be carried by hand to the destination of letters and postcards. This site, in addition to being the Post Office Barrel was also the landing place for the colonial settlers.
Continue to the North of the Island and ascend to an elevated slope for a stunning view at Baroness Lookout. The Baroness Eloisa von Wagner is said to have spent many hours here watching the horizon. The ruins, which are known as Baroness Eloisa Von Wagner's house, can be found within 30 m of the ruin. The landscape is visible from this lookout. It includes the coast between the Enderby Islet and Post Office Bay as well as Cerro pajas, as the pool of pink flamingos as the wide Palo Santo forest.
