Galápagos: Basic San Cristóbal 4D/3N

Arrival at SAN CRISTOBAL AIRPORT, our Galapagos National Park guide will welcome you and take you to the corresponding buses for the transfer to your hotel. La Lobería is a coral sand beach, so called because of the large number of sea lions that rest on its rocks and sand. On the rocks, you will find large Galapagos marine iguanas, unique in the world.

We will visit Tijeretas Hill, located 2 km southwest of San Cristobal Island. Named after the local frigate birds, whose tails end in the shape of scissors, it was one of the first places where the English biologist Charles Robert Darwin landed. Cerro Tijeretas is located a short distance from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. The hill is frequently visited by frigates, hence its name. Visit the Interpretation Center, a natural history room that explains the origin of the islands, and visit Punta Carola.

We will leave early in the morning to El Junco Lagoon, located 19 kilometers from the port inside a large volcano, now extinct, its name comes from a type of plant that is common in its surroundings, called "junco". The lagoon is also surrounded by Miconia, a species of flora endemic to Galapagos, and it is also one of the favorite sites for frigate birds that fly and brush its waters with fresh water. Its diameter is 270 meters and its maximum depth is 6 meters. It is fed only with rainwater, in times of drought decreases to 1 m. and when there are heavy rains increases its level to overflow forming a stream. El Junco Lagoon has a surface area of 60,000 m2 and a volume of 360,000 m3, equivalent to 9 million gallons of water.
