Each day on this journey brings us to a drastically different island environment and Santiago is no exception. Buccaneer Cove, a historically significant area for past visitors, including Charles Darwin, allows for incredible exploration of the coastal area in kayaks as we start our day. Since it is a newer island in the archipelago, the volcanic landscape is prominent. Exploration of the undersea environment brings us numerous species of colorful reef fish and sea lions.
Puerto Egas in the afternoon allows a hike along the coast, seeing remnants of a human population that lived here up until the early 1960’s. Galapagos fur seals lounge along the coast as numerous ruddy turnstones, semipalmated plovers, and American oystercatchers roam the coast in the late afternoon for their daily sustenance.
