The first full day of our expedition brought us to Bartolome Island. Located on the east side of Santiago, this small island has unique geological characteristics and stunning landscapes.
We started our expedition early in the morning. We hiked all the way up to Bartolome’s summit and observed the marvelous Pinnacle Rock, a striking jagged formation.
In the last part of the morning, we snorkeled. We had the chance to swim with Galapagos sea lions, sharks, and the incredible Galapagos penguin.
We spent the afternoon searching for the fantastic Galapagos land iguana at Cerro Dragon on Santa Cruz Island. At this time of the day, the iguanas rest below bushes. They are seeking shade due to the temperature at this time of the year.
