Today we visited the island of San Cristobal. We started our day with a hike at Punta Pitt, where we walked uphill along a beautiful landscape made of volcanic tuff. Here we found the last of the three species of boobies to be found in Galapagos, the red-footed booby. In the afternoon, after a delicious lunch, we visited Cerro Brujo, a beautiful beach on which to relax on the last full day of our trip. We enjoyed one last encounter with the charismatic sea lions and sea birds feeding along the shore. We ended our day navigating around Kicker Rock, a tuff cone in the middle of the ocean a few miles off the coast of San Cristobal.
