Our day began with a very relaxing morning at Gardner Bay. We enjoyed a nice time on the beach and kayaking alongside a massive colony of sea lions. The weather was hot, but we had amazing views. Later, we took a great hike at Punta Suarez. We observed a bunch of marine birds, including a large colony of Nazca boobies. Española is a “mature” island with an amazing and uncommon landscape of pronounced cliffs and crashing waves.

San Cristobal Island
Our expedition to Punta Pitt on San Cristobal Island was an unforgettable journey. At dawn, we walked along a path surrounded by volcanic formations, revealing stunning landscapes at every turn. The striking contrast between the dark rocks and the lush vegetation immersed us in the raw beauty of nature. Throughout the hike, we had the privilege of observing blue-footed and red-footed boobies, finches, and mockingbirds up close. The presence of these majestic and unbothered birds fostered a deep connection with the environment. The beauty of the scenery, the refreshing air, and the harmony with the flora and fauna made this experience truly transformative, leaving a lasting impression on us. During the afternoon, we visited one of the most beautiful beaches in Galapagos, Cerro Brujo, where we enjoyed a relaxing stretching session accompanied by the sound of the waves. The beauty of the landscape made this expedition an unforgettable experience.
