Near the beach, there is a mangrove swamp where we find a colony of frigates, marine iguanas, red-footed boobies and mask boobies, the great ground finch, gulls, herons, and cactus finch. After the visit by land, you can swim near the most beautiful marine species in the world.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-229 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bestitinerary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bestitinerary.jpg 900w, https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bestitinerary-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bestitinerary-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>BARRANCO<\/h2>\n<p>It is also known as Prince Phillip\u2019s stairs. You can enjoy a walk along the Barranco road. You will observe tropical birds, petrels, common frigates, red-footed boobies, masked boobies, pigeons, and finches.<\/p>\n<h2>SANTIAGO ISLAND: SULLIVAN BAY<\/h2>\n<p>Here there is no by virtually no erosion lava flows covering a large area. You can see lava pahoehoe (basaltic lava that has a smooth, undulating, wavy, or reddish surface), hornitos, and mollugo (a lava colonizer).<\/p>\n<h2>BARTOLOME ISLAND<\/h2>\n<p>The activities here include: walking, swimming, diving, and photographing. Along the way, you can delight in the flora of the island such as pioneering plants such as tiquilia, chamaesyce, and scalesia. The island has been made up of cones, lava pipes where lava once flowed. You can enjoy also swimming and snorkeling. From the top of Bartolom\u00e9, you can see magnificent landscapes unique in the world, excellent for photography.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-230 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/galapagos-tourist-hiking.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/galapagos-tourist-hiking.jpg 700w, https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/galapagos-tourist-hiking-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>CHINESE HAT<\/h2>\n<p>It is a small islet on the southeast coast of Santiago. It is shaped like a Chinese Hat when viewed from afar. Its peculiar shape is due to the lava ejected by drops that form an inclined cone. It is a totally defenseless landscape unique in the world where you can see geological formations such as lava tubes and lava flows.<\/p>\n<h2>MOSQUERA<\/h2>\n<p>It is located between Baltra Island and North Seymour. A magical paradise of white sand and crystal water, you can see the most incredible colony of sea lions a few meters away, as well as some amazing species of birds.<\/p>\n<h2>Charles Darwin Station<\/h2>\n<p>It is in the main port of Santa Cruz Island. This site is a living laboratory! You can observe the young where we will see turtles and land iguanas in captivity. Thanks to the dedicated work of environmental institutions, some species are being saved. The giant Galapagos tortoise, Solitaire George, lived here for several years. You can discover Darwin\u2019s theory of evolution in this place.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Travel to Ecuador<\/strong> and especially the <strong>Galapagos trip<\/strong> is an adventure from another world.

Here you can see blacktip reef sharks, rays and turtles.\n\n[grwebform url=\"https:\/\/app.getresponse.com\/view_webform_v2.js?u=wn6KX&amp;webforms_id=55181204\" css=\"on\" center=\"off\" center_margin=\"200\"\/]\n<h5>DARWIN BAY<\/h5>\nIt is a beautiful coral beach, where you can do many activities such as short walks, photography, swimming, snorkeling. Near the beach, there is a mangrove swamp where we find a colony of frigates, marine iguanas, red-footed boobies and mask boobies, the great ground finch, gulls, herons, and cactus finch. After the visit by land, you can swim near the most beautiful marine species in the world.\n\n<img class=\"wp-image-229 size-full aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/bestitinerary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" \/>\n<h5>BARRANCO<\/h5>\nIt is also known as Prince Phillip\u2019s stairs. You can enjoy a walk along the Barranco road. You will observe tropical birds, petrels, common frigates, red-footed boobies, masked boobies, pigeons and finches.\n<h5>SANTIAGO ISLAND: SULLIVAN BAY<\/h5>\nHere there is no by virtually no erosion lava flows covering a large area. You can see lava pahoehoe (basaltic lava that has a smooth, undulating, wavy, or reddish surface), hornitos, and mollugo (a lava colonizer).\n<h5>BARTOLOME ISLAND<\/h5>\nThe activities here include: walking, swimming, diving and photographing. Along the way, you can delight in the flora of the island such as pioneering plants such as tiquilia, chamaesyce and scalesia. The island has been made up of cones, lava pipes where lava once flowed. You can enjoy also swimming and snorkeling. From the top of Bartolom\u00e9, you can see magnificent landscapes unique in the world, excellent for photography.\n\n<img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-230 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cruisetogalapagos.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/galapagos-tourist-hiking.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" \/>\n<h5>CHINESE HAT<\/h5>\nIt is a small islet on the southeast coast of Santiago. It is shaped like a Chinese Hat when viewed from afar. Its peculiar shape is due to the lava ejected by drops that form an inclined cone. It is a totally defenseless landscape unique in the world where you can see geological formations such as lava tubes and lava flows.\n<h5>MOSQUERA<\/h5>\nIt is located between Baltra Island and North Seymour. A magical paradise of white sand and crystal water, you can see the most incredible colony of sea lions a few meters away, as well as some amazing species of birds.\n<h5>Charles Darwin Station<\/h5>\nIt is in the main port of Santa Cruz Island. This site is a living laboratory! You can observe the young where we will see turtles and land iguanas in captivity. Thanks to the dedicated work of environmental institutions, some species are being saved. The giant Galapagos tortoise, Solitaire George, lived here for several years.
