DAY 2
AM: Punta Pitt
Punta Pitt (Pitt Point) is located in the northeastern tip of San Cristobal Island and is the only place in the archipelago where is possible to see the 3 different species of boobies (blue- footed, red-footed and masked) as well as the 2 species of frigate birds sharing a common space. The site has a trail that goes up a cliff and through a ravine, leading to an area with abundant birdlife. This site is also known for being a good snorkeling spot of San Cristobal Island.
PM: Witch Hill & Kicker Rock
Located on the northern coast of San Cristobal Island, Witch Hill is an eroded tuff cone surrounded by a beautiful white powdery sand beach with an abundance of animals. Wildlife includes sea turtles, rays, pelicans, sea lions and various types of boobies.
The clear water provides an excellent opportunity for swimming and snorkeling. This was also one of the first places visited by Charles Darwin during his trip in the M/S Beagle.
This striking rock formation is located a couple hours off the western shore of San Cristobal. Jutting out of the water, the rocks stand vertically at hundreds of feet above the ocean divided by a small channel. Although there are no landing areas, kayaking and scuba diving allow visitors to spot a variety of marine life.
