Overview
Part of Ecuador’s Galápagos archipelago, San Cristobal is known for its raw beauty and biological wonders. The island’s capital, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, is a friendly, walkable town where sea lions nap on benches and marine iguanas cross your path like locals. Just outside town, white-sand beaches, lava rock trails, and clear waters invite exploration.
Nature lovers are in for a treat—this is one of the best places to see giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and playful sea lions up close. Snorkeling and diving reveal a world of rays, sea turtles, and even hammerhead sharks, while inland hikes offer panoramic views and encounters with endemic bird species.
Despite its remote feel, San Cristobal strikes a great balance between eco-adventure and relaxed island life. Whether you’re exploring volcanic highlands or sipping coffee by the harbor, it’s a destination that feels truly special and untouched.
See giant Galápagos tortoises in their natural habitat and learn about conservation efforts to protect these iconic creatures.
Tip: Wear sturdy shoes for the trails and bring water—it can get hot during midday walks.
Discover volcanic landscapes, marine iguanas, and seabirds while walking the protected trails of the national park.
Tip: Always stay on marked paths and keep a respectful distance from wildlife.
Unwind on a sandy beach where sea lions often nap beside visitors, and enjoy swimming or snorkeling in calm waters.
Tip: Arrive early for fewer crowds or stay late to catch a spectacular sunset.
Climb to this scenic lookout for panoramic views of the bay and spot frigatebirds soaring overhead.
Tip: Bring snorkeling gear—the cove below is excellent for swimming with turtles and colorful fish.
Marvel at dramatic volcanic cliffs and see all three species of boobies (blue-footed, red-footed, and Nazca) in one place.
Tip: Book through a licensed tour operator, as this excursion requires a boat ride.
Stroll the waterfront of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno to watch sea lions lounging on benches, pelicans fishing, and marine iguanas basking in the sun.
Tip: Keep your camera ready—wildlife encounters happen everywhere on the island.
