DAY 2 - FRIDAY
CORMORANT POINT – DEVILS CROWNS - POST OFFICE BAY – BARONESS’ OVERLOOK
At Cormorant Point you land on a green olivine sand beach. Following a 100 meter-long path you will soon reach a lagoon with flamingos.
Devil’s Crown is an underwater volcanic crater, almost covered completely by Galapagos waters. Just a small portion of the rock formation can be seen from above and it looks like a crown. The underwater world is very rich in coral reefs, abundant marine species. Birds are also part of this visitor point due to its location in open waters.
In the afternoon you will visit the Post Office Bay, which keeps the legendary post barrel that whalers historically used to post their mail in.
Then we will go to “Mirador de la Baronesa” and your naturalist guide will tell the murder and
mystery legend of the Baroness. This viewpoint is located on the north of the Floreana Island.
The way up and trail is very easy, steps are placed in this area for security.

DAY 3 - SATURDAY
SOMBRERO CHINO – NORTH SEYMOUR
Sombrero Chino is a small islet off the south coast of Santiago, with a maximum elevation of 160 feet (52 meters). Though within easy reach of Santa Cruz, Sombrero Chino is typically only
visited by those aboard a Galapagos Cruise.
North Seymour is located slightly to the north of Baltra. It is a low, flat island, formed by submarine lava formation uplift. Covered with low, bushy vegetation, it contains the largest colony of magnificent frigate birds in the Galapagos. There is also a large population of blue-footed boobies that perform an amusing courtship dance when nesting conditions are right.
