Day 5: San Cristobal – Isla Lobos, Leon Dormido
FRom San Cristobal, explore Isla Lobos, a small island named after the sea lions that rest and play on its rocky shores.

This morning visit Floreana’s Cormorant Point, offering a trail overlooking a saltwater lagoon that is a favourite of flamingos.

No Galapagos visit would be complete without Floreana’s Post Office Bay: A white-sand beach where in the past sailors used to leave and receive their letters in a barrel. The last stop on Floreana is Baroness’ Observatory: this site shows a breath-taking view of La Lobería and the inland features of Floreana Island.
