You will arrive at the Puerto Baquerizo Moreno airport on San Cristóbal Island, and you will be greeted by your naturalist guide who will accompany you to your hotel so that you can leave your luggage there. In the afternoon, you will visit the Interpretation Center where your guide will tell you about the History of the Galapagos Archipelago: its geological origin, the evolution of the islands and the species that inhabit them, as well as the arrival of Men and their consequences. From there, you will start a hike up Cerro Tijeretas, literally the "hill of frigates" for the birds that nest there. Some walkways lead to breathtaking landscapes on the heights of the site while others descend into the bay, where it is possible to snorkel surrounded by sea lions, sea turtles and numerous tropical fish. You can choose to spend time at Mann Beach before heading back to port.
