The south-eastern most island of the archipelago and also the oldest.
This island is a heaven for birdwatchers with a numerous population of Nazca Boobies, Blue footed boobies, an endemic mocking bird and the famous Waved Albatross.
Also with the walk around, there´s a breathtaking view from the cliffs, a blowhole has formed and every wave hitting the cliffs is an exhilarating moment.
When the Albatross chicks are growing and their parents go fishing we get to see them taking off as they leap from the cliffs.
It is also the only island where the waved albatross can be seen during the breeding season, April to December. Those who have been to Galapagos before know that albatross nesting season is quite a spectacle to watch and often described as one of the highlights of visiting the archipelago.
After the walk there is a magnificent Snorkeling session where we will probably enjoy the company of sealions, turtles and sharks
Today´s excursion is GLORIOUS , We´re going to cruise from town located on the south-east spot of the island to north-west to a place named PUNTA PITT we land on an Olivine sand beach then a magnificent walk up-hill for breath-taking views.
During this excursion we will enjoy the presence of the three boobies that inhabit the archipelago: RED footed boobies, BLUE footed boobies and NAZCA boobies. A short stroll and maybe a quick dip in the ocean on the before mentioned green sand beach and the things get even more exciting:
