where we will be able to observe flamingos, black-necked stilts, thrushes, as well as two old ships
that were abandoned during the Second World War. Furthermore, we will also find sea lions,
marine iguanas, and seabirds resting on the beach. We will enjoy the tranquility of the beach as

Galápagos petrels, seabirds, Darwin finches, mockingbirds, and Galápagos doves.

islands. We will have the opportunity to snorkel, kayak, hike, and take a ride in a panga.

DAY 3 – Sunday

AM» Visit South Plazas Island

PM» Visit Santa Fe Island
South Plazas

These islands have an unusual vegetation, which creates an interesting landscape that
helps to enhance the fauna and the flora of the Galápagos. It is also possible to observe land iguanas
in the shade of cacti. The main attractions of the Plaza Islands include land iguanas, sea lions, and
swallow-tailed gulls, as well as lizards, island insects, red-beaked sparrows, frigate birds, and pelicans
that glide down the cliffs. Then we will return to the yacht for lunch and a deserved rest.

Santa Fe

An extremely scenic island, where we can visit two different trails, with one of
them leading to a beautiful viewpoint on the top of a cliff, where you can find endemic land iguanas
of the island. The other trail is a small circular path close to the beach, where we will be able to
observe another colony of land iguana. Here we will also have the possibility to kayak, snorkel,
panga ride, or walk, in order to observe and enjoy nature. Then we will return to the yacht for
dinner and a time of relaxation.

DAY 4 – Monday

Considered as one of the most beautiful and impressive sites in the Galápagos, it has
become one of the favorite nesting sites for seabirds. Here we will be able to see three species of
frigate birds and their nesting sites in the same area. Then we will return to the yacht for lunch.

Kicker Rock & Isla Lobos
Kicker Rock: Is a gigantic and impressive rock formation known locally as ‘León Dormido’ where we
can see a multitude of blue-footed boobies, masked boobies, pelicans and sea birds that will delight
us with their majestic flights to be photographed.
Later we head towards Isla Lobos, an islet separated from San Cristóbal Island by a narrow stretch
of calm waters. On the islet we will take a walk that will allow us to observe frigates, blue-footed
boobies, masked boobies, a colony of sea lions and we will also be able to snorkel in the arm of the
sea, probably with the company of sea lions and different kinds of colorful fish. The atmosphere is
one of tranquility and primitive beauty, a typical environment of the Galapagos Islands.
DAY 5 – Tuesday

AM»Visit the Galapagos Tortoise Breeding Center in Cerro Colorado – Transfer  to San Cristobal  Airport

Cerro Colorado

In the morning, our guide will take us to the top of San Cristóbal Island. Following, our tour has 2
options. The first option starts from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, and involves a visit to the El Junco
Lagoon. For hundreds of years, rain water and condensation have caused an accumulation of water
in the caldera of an extinct volcano, creating a paradise for frigate birds and turtles.
Alternatively, we will visit the “Cerro Colorado” turtle breeding center. There we will have a pleasant
walk along a path that allows us to be in close contact with the turtles, that can vary from the smallest
to the oldest of giants.

After our visit, we will depart for the airport for our return flight to Quito or Guayaquil.Our trip ends here. We will say goodbye to our guide and to the Galápagos Islands, who will be waiting for your next visit.
