Bartolome & Santiago Island
This week we have enjoyed with our guests many beautiful days, and every day we had a different experience - this was truly a “journey of discovery”. We began our voyage by observing blue-footed boobies, iguanas and frigate birds. But our guests didn’t know that over the course of the next several days, our experience in Galápagos was going to change; it was just hard to imagine how this day could be topped.
The first full day we explored Española Island, an island full of birds and reptiles; everyone enjoyed every minute on this island watching the passivity of these creatures.
Then we went to Floreana, where we went swimming with the sea-lions and walking to see flamingos. Our days then changed from birds to volcanic panorama formations when we visited the youngest island in this archipelago, Fernandina Island. We walked on different formations of lava called the pahoe-hoe, or "ropy lava" and aa-aa, or “ouch–ouch” lava (this one is very sharp).
Santa Cruz Island we saw the world famous giant tortoise and the land iguanas.
The days of our trip are ending on a peaceful island. Bartolome Island is very well-known for the most beautiful landscapes of this Archipelago. In the afternoon we visited Santiago Island, where watching the baby sea lions and fur seals swim in the tidal pools.
We leave the islands as virtually untouched as we first encountered them our first day. We took with us only photos and great memories of this enchanted archipelago.
This expedition will remain in our hearts for a lifetime.
Hasta la Bye-bye…
