Itinerary 8 Days B

On departure from Quito Airport, a US$20 per-person transit card and a US$100 national park entry fee are payable. These transactions can be complicated and time-consuming so please have cash available. The National Park Guide will meet you at the airport and transfer you to the Queen Beatriz catamaran.

Galapaguera

Today you will travel to the interior of the island and visit the highlands site of Galapaguera of Cerro Colorado (Red Hill), where the national park has established an information center and breeding program for tortoises. We will see giant tortoises living in their natural habitat, and learn about their evolution, history, and future.

Bartolome Island

Bartolome, an archipelago island that is relatively new, can still be seen traces of its volcanic past as shown by the incredible lunar-like landscape.
One of the most photographed spots in Galapagos is the Pinnacle Rock. It's an abrupt jag made of rock that protrudes from the ground like a tooth. Two golden bays are nearby and back onto one another.

Santiago Island: Sullivan Bay

Here you can hike up to the summit of a once active volcano and take in spectacular views to Sullivan Bay on Santiago Island.
