Day by day itinerary
1San Cristobal airport - Interpretation Center - Tijeretas - Punta Carola⌄
Transfer from the airport to the hotel; after dropping off your luggage, a guide will pick you up from the hotel to the Interpretation Centre, this place consists of three autonomous constructions connected by walkways and paths, exhibition and conference rooms, and a natural history room explaining the origin of the islands.
Afterwards, we will visit Cerro Las Tijeretas, located within walking distance of Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. Its name is due to the large number of frigates or "scissors" that inhabit and nest in this area.
Then we will head to Punta Carola beach, a small sandy beach where sea lions and shorebirds live. In Punta Carola you can see exotic flora and fauna. So, if you’re looking for somewhere to spread the towel and relax for a while, this is an excellent option.
