For the last full day of our expedition we visited San Cristóbal Island, also known as Chatham by the early sailors. We started early in the morning with a hike of about 2 kilometers; surrounded by giant tuff cones and dry-looking vegetation, we encountered the famous red-footed and blue-footed boobies. As we finished the hike, we enjoyed the water of an olivine-rich beach at Pitt’s Point.
Later in the day, we continued navigating along the coastline of Darwin’s first island of the Galapagos. We stopped by Cerro Brujo, “Finger hill” for the whalers, and continued to another coralline beach with an amazing contrast of colors. Lastly, we finished our day by circumnavigating the mystical Kicker Rock.
