Galapagos - Isla San Cristóbal 🦭

San Cristobal's colony of Galapagos sea lions is the largest in the archipelago and they are our new favourite animals. They are so playful and we often found ourselves surrounded by them while snorkeling (the babies are very, very cute). We also made time to admire the other wildlife (lots of sea turtles, iguanas, tortoises, sharks, rays, blue-footed boobies. the usual 🙈).

Swimming with the black tip reef sharks during the 360° tour of the island was really special and we were lucky enough to come across a group of dolphins! The mountainbike ride to the other side of the island left us completely dehydrated (the heat! no water! uphill!), but we got some beautiful views of the island and El Junco Lagoon.

This was our last stop in Galapagos. After three weeks of snorkeling, sun and the coolest animals, we are really going to miss this place! 🏝️Read more
