The first outcrop of rock spotted by the crew of the HMS Beagle on the 15th of September 1835 was Punta Pitt, located in the northeastern tip of San Cristóbal Island. Stunning tuff rock walls rise from the sea, and the little vegetation that manages to grow here hosts seabirds like the red-footed boobies and frigatebirds. Cerro Brujo, further south, is a white-coralline wide beach, the icing of the cake to a fantastic, unforgettable week in the Enchanted Isles.
