Bartolomé & Santiago Islands
It is the last day of our expedition. We believed we had seen it all already. But what a delight to discover, once more, a unique scenery, where colors from lava flows mix up with yellows and browns of volcanic ash. This is Bartolomé, a tiny and beautiful island, where we snorkeled, again, with penguins and sea lions.
In the afternoon we explored tidal pools crowded with life. From Sally Lightfoot crabs to Galápagos fur sea lions, it’s a new world to uncover. And for our farewell cocktail, the best surprise, all the children on board organized a play to tell us about the arrival and establishment of Galápagos species.
We were reminded of how they got here, by the ocean, by air, by birds. Mr. Seed, with his tall red hat made everybody laugh with his embarrassing arrival story. Penguins, sea lions, turtles, they were all part of the play. And who to forget little and sweet carpenter bee who came floating on a vegetation raft (one of our naturalists played the raft). With their charming voices these kids showed us how much they had learned from their Galápagos experience. There can’t be a better place than this enchanted archipelago to gain knowledge of natural history, and above all, to learn about how to live in harmony with nature.
