Today we visited the island of San Cristobal. First, we visited the most eastern point of the Galapagos Archipelago: Punta Pitt. Here our guests enjoyed a nice Zodiac ride along the coast in order to observe sea birds like great frigatebirds and red-footed boobies among Galapagos sea lions, Nazca boobies, and Galapagos shearwaters. The second option was a hike. Here our guests were amazed by finding blue-footed boobies all along the trail. There was time for swimming and snorkeling off a green sandy beach covered by olivine crystals. The afternoon was spent at Cerro Brujo, considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the Galapagos Archipelago. The end for a perfect vacation at one of the most pristine places on Earth!
