Today, we awoke at the most southeastern point of Galapagos,
San Cristobal Island. This administrative capital of Galapagos has a population
of 10,000 and is home to Punta Pitt, a nesting site for blue- and red-footed
boobies. As we walked along the dramatic cliffs of Punta Pitt, we had many close
encounters with nesting red-footed boobies and courting blue-footed boobies.
The rest of the morning was spent at a beautiful olivine beach with a playful
colony of Galapagos sea lions. In the afternoon, we visited Cerro Brujo, a
white-sand beach with turquoise waters, a beautiful way to end a week of
exploration in Galapagos.
