Isla San Cristobal
Outdoor activities in Ecuador and on the Galápagos Islands
Ecuador is the perfect place to have wonderful adventures, and, since it is a small country, you can try lots of activities over a short period of time. You can go bird watching in cloud forests, go for a day trip and go snorkelling among the underwater wildlife of the Galápagos Islands. In addition to this, you will have the opportunity to go surfing, mountain biking and rafting.
San Cristóbal, the port base
Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, on the San Cristóbal island, is the capital of the islands. This is a great city which offers all kinds of services for the tourist and is the perfect place to be used as base port for those who want to go island hopping.
Explore the most iconic bays on the San Cristóbal Island
The Rosa Blanca bay, located on the northern part of San Cristóbal, is perfect if you want to go fishing. Here you will find the central beach, with huge dunes and crystal-clear waters. You cannot miss the Sardina bay either, where you will find Galápagos tortoises, rays or seals and the well-known Cerro Brujo, a rocky formation where you will have the opportunity to watch a great variety of birds. Besides, this place is surrounded by astounding landscapes, so if you like taking photos , don't forget your camera!
Come explore León Dormido
Discover an astounding place where you will find tons of marine species. León Dormido or Kicker Rock, is a rocky formation which also shelters seals, tortoises, rays and even hammerhead sharks. This idyllic place is perfect for snorkelling in an exceptional environment. It's your choice!
The famous Tortuga Bay beach
Tortuga Bay is one of the best-known beaches on the Galápagos Islands. It has been chosen as one of the 25 best beaches in the world, thanks to its turquoise waters and white sand where marine iguanas rest. A natural and idyllic setting where you will be surrounded by the purest nature. The first stretch of the beach is known as Playa Brava and is where people can go surfing. The northern part is reserved for swimmers.
Wildlife sanctuary
The Galápagos Islands are one of the last wildlife sanctuaries. Galápagos has two protected areas: the Galápagos National Park and the Marine Reserve. The archipelago was recognised as World Heritage Site by the UNESCO in 1978.

Experiences
Surfing in Galápagos
The Galápagos Islands are paradise in the Pacific Ocean, with spots of rocky bottoms and surrounded by lush biodiversity. The San Cristóbal Island is the main destination for surfers, since here you will find great waves all year round.
Discover the wonders of the ocean
Snorkelling in Galápagos is one of the best experiences you can have. The Galápagos Islands are one of the best destinations in the world to try snorkelling, thanks to its spectacular underwater wildlife: sharks, rays, tortoises, penguins, seals, moray eels, sea-horses, all kinds of fish and, if you are lucky, you can see dolphins and even whales. The strong currents and the low temperature of the waters are difficult for beginners.
Hiking in paradise
ON the outskirts of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno you will find the interpretation centre, a place where you can learn a bit more about the archipelago. This is the staring point of a hiking route, following a paved path which goes all the way up to the viewpoint of Cerro Tijerita and that ends at Playa Baquerizo.
Bird watching
There is no other place in the world with so much bird diversity, specially in such a small country. On the mainland and on the Galápagos Islands there are over 1600 classified species, some of them unique. The field of action is one of the greatest challenges for bird watchers, since here you will find tropical forests, cloud forests and islands.
