3 Night Cruise sailing from San Cristobal to Santa Cruz aboard Archipel I.
Our 3 nights route cruises along 3 of the 4 inhabited islands of the archipelago, featuring their intriguing colonization history: San Cristobal, Floreana and Santa Cruz. But we will also land at two untouched islands: the extraordinary crown-jewel of Santa Fe and the popular, really not to be missed highlight South Plaza (both with land iguanas and giant cactus trees).
DAY 1 AM: Arrival at San Cristóbal Airport
Arrival at San Cristóbal Airport. You will have to pay your Galapagos National Park entrance fee and your luggage will be inspected.
PM: Cc. Tf David Rodríguez
Located in the southeastern area of San Cristobal, this breeding center was created to increase the population of the island’s giant tortoise. The complex includes everything, from a large enclosure to living quarters for the staff.
DAY 2 AM: South Plaza
Despite its small size, some of the most interesting and outstanding species of the Galapagos are found here. There are several hybrid iguanas- a result of crossing a male marine iguana and a female land iguana.
PM: Santa Fe
Santa Fe is home to a number of endemic species like the Galapagos Hawk, Galapagos snake, Galapagos mockingbird, rice rats and one of the two species of lands iguanas of the islands
DAY 3 AM: Champion Islet (Floreana)
Floreana offers some of most spectacular snorkelling sites, such as Champion Islet. Galapagos sea lions will be waiting to play with you if you’re lucky. From the dinghy, birdwatchers will have the chance to amplify their growing spot lists with the almost extinct Charles mockingbird.
PM: Loberia & Asylum of Peace (Floreana)
The Asylum of Peace hike goes past a mesmerising cave and visits a fascinating freshwater spring. La Loberia beach is an ideal spot to enjoy the ocean, as well as the sea lions that live there.
DAY 4 AM: El Chato Reserve - Twin Craters
El Chato Reserve is a protected area and official part of the Galapagos National Park. It extends from Cerro El Chato as far down as the southwestern coast of Santa Cruz Island, where females lay their eggs.
