Baquerizo Beach

Highlight • Beach

In contrast to the other beaches after the information center, it is a real natural, nevertheless well-marked hiking trail of one hour from the Mirador for watching the frigate birds, which takes you to the beautiful and relatively lonely beach.
Here you can also snorkel and with luck you can also see turtles in the water.

What a contrast, yesterday at 4600m and today a few meters under the sea.
The first impression of the Galapagos gave us seals, a variety of birds, lizards and other creatures, both on and under the water.
