Flight to Galapagos

Early this morning, you will be transferred to Quito Airport for your flight to the Galápagos Islands. Upon arrival in San Cristóbal, you’ll head to your hotel in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, where a representative will meet you to review your itinerary and provide details for your self-guided afternoon tour. Start at the Interpretation Center, where you’ll learn about the islands' formation, human settlement, and conservation efforts. A detailed map in the exhibition hall highlights the diverse wildlife found throughout the Galápagos. Then, continue to Cerro Tijeretas, one of the best spots to observe both species of frigate birds. This two-hour walk offers stunning views along the way, and a small cove at the end provides an opportunity for snorkeling.
