San Cristobal is the easternmost island of Galápagos and also the oldest one. Eroded volcanic peaks in the northern part of the island, and rich vegetation in the southern part.
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is the provincial capital and the second largest settlement in the islands.
We anchored in the harbour and walked down the beach to see animals and humans enjoying the evening, peacefully, together.
Next stop – Española – the southernmost and also the oldest of the southern islands. Here a wide range of endemic species evolved.
This became our favourite island of the archipelago. Why? Because it perfectly matched our imagination of what the Galápagos islands would look like! And, it is home to the Waved Albatros – this magnificent, endemic, giant. We saw their mating dance and saw them waddle clumsily to the cliff and off…just to ”own” the air! I dare say Walt Disney managed to portray this bird very accurately in his movie…
Our magnificent day on Española ended in splendid evening sun, and, as usual,
our Cachalote and her crew were waiting for us to come back with the pangas.
I wish you all a Good Night !
