The volcanic cone Pinnacle Rock at Bartolomé Island stands as a natural wonder which formed when underwater volcanic eruptions caused lava to freeze instantaneously as it touched the ocean water creating multiple basalt rock layers. The island contains a sandy shoreline which functions as a breeding area for green sea turtles during their nesting period. The location serves as a home for Galápagos penguins although visitors can observe marine life including colorful fish and sea lions in their wild environment.

Dinner ends your first day of exploration.

Darwin Bay

The shield volcano Darwin Bay underwent a partial caldera collapse through natural erosion processes during several centuries which formed a distinct geographical structure. The bay functions as a sanctuary for bird enthusiasts because it supports various bird populations throughout its entire region. The red-footed booby population on Genovesa Island exceeds 20,000 birds which build their nests in trees and bushes to create a memorable wildlife experience.

El Barranco (Prince Philip’s Steps)

The trail guides visitors to a rocky cliff where they can see the entire island and its surrounding ocean. The region exists inside a Palo Santo forest which serves as a nesting ground for red-footed boobies and multiple shorebird species thus providing visitors with a complete natural environment.
