DESCRIPTION

 

Here is where you'll see the most photographed view of the islands walking about 600 meters to the summit of the island. The walk is surreal, taking you through recent volcanic eruptions and Mars-like landscape. It's a walk through evolution, comparing the beginnings of Bartolome to the more developed islands in the Archipelago.

 

This is a great snorkeling spot as well due to the abundance of underwater rocks and formations. Here, look for penguins, sharks, rays, sea stars, flounders and an array of colorful tropical fish. The beach is accessible - no angry sea lions to contend with - and a great place to relax after a long snorkel. Remember your sunscreen!
