As the warm/rainy season still reigns in the archipelago, we started our day with an early morning hike to beat the equatorial sun. We first explored a young lava flow on Santiago Island that faces Sulivan Bay and were amazed by the contrasting colors of iron-oxide lava. We returned to our cozy ship for a delicious breakfast and finished the morning with a relaxing beach visit.
After a well-deserved rest and an amazing lunch, we went for a snorkeling excursion along the coastline of the iconic Bartolomé Island. We finished our day by going up 368 steps to a viewpoint with a strategic spot to observe some of the islands that make up the Galapagos Archipelago.
