Today we travelled to the western region of the Galapagos archipelago. Early in the morning we went to Punta Vicente Roca, a visitor’s site that can only be explored by water, either by snorkeling or Zodiac rides. During our Zodiac ride we enjoyed the impressive geological formations existing in this place. While snorkeling, the abundance of sea turtles gave us a great underwater experience. In the afternoon, we sailed south towards Fernandina Island to visit Punta Espinoza, the only site of this island where visitors are permitted. This site hosts a huge number of species, including marine iguanas and the emblematic flightless cormorant. At the end of the day there is a shared feeling of awesomeness after experiencing the unique beauty of western Galapagos.
