San Cristobal Island – Welcome to Galapagos! (D)
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is located in San Cristobal island which is the capital of the province of Galapagos.
Your naturalist guide will pick you up at the airport and will transfer you to your hotel. The first day on the Galapagos starts with the visit of the Interpretation Center which will bring you closer to the human and natural history of the archipelago.
We continue with a walk to CERRO DE LAS TIJERETAS (FRIGATE HILL) is a hill covered with palo santos, overlooking an almost circular cove. This place has a beautiful panoramic view of the surrounding coastline of Wreck bay and Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, as well as the very well known Kicker Rock. you may observe two species of frigates birds, perhaps nesting. This one having their “courtship” display in March- April.
Experience your first snorkeling around the shore of the Tijeretas or well know as Darwins’ Bay where you have chances to swim with sea lions, sea turtles, variety of fishes and with a bit of luck enjoy seeing blue footed boobies fishing.
Enjoy your first night in San Cristobal.
