Ancient Shores
Eastern Route
Baltra — San Cristóbal — Española — Floreana — Santiago
This route moves through the older, eastern and southern half of the archipelago — volcanic islands weathered by time and rich in human history. Española is the signature site: the almost-exclusive breeding ground of the waved albatross, and one of the richest wildlife concentrations in the islands. Along the way: a centuries-old postal tradition on Floreana, the seabird colonies of Genovesa, and Kicker Rock rising from the sea off San Cristóbal.
Route Features
Española — the waved albatross's near-exclusive breeding site, in season.
The 18th-century Post Office Bay barrel tradition on Floreana.
Land iguanas and sea lions on South Plaza.
Frigatebirds and blue-footed boobies nesting along the trails of North Seymour.
Genovesa's Darwin Bay and Prince Philip's Steps, home to vast seabird colonies.
León Dormido (Kicker Rock), on the first afternoon.
