Today we visited Floreana, this is one of the first islands in the Galapagos to experience human settlement due to its fresh water supply. It played a crucial role in the archipelago’s history as a stopping point for whalers, pirates, and explorers who put into place the popular Post Office Barrel. It still works today as a tradition to send letters all over the world by hand delivering them, and our guests got to be part of it.
After enjoying a wonderful morning, we sailed to Punta Cormorant where we hiked and spotted sea turtles mating, lizards, blue-footed boobies, birds, sea lions and many others. We ended the great day with a mesmerizing sunset! What a wonderful time we had exploring Floreana.
