I used to be fortunate to go to many pristine locations within the Galápagos whereas on a weeklong cruise with Ecoventura, onboard the MV Origin yacht.
On the fifth day of my Galápagos cruise, I lastly received to see Fernandina Island.
Fernandina Island is likely one of the most distant locations within the Galápagos Islands and lies simply over 500 miles from mainland Ecuador. Since my cruise was eight days lengthy, Fernandina Island landed proper in the midst of my journey. I had seen numerous wildlife so far, however I used to be severely blown away by the panorama and volcanic rock formations of this island particularly.
We had a terrific day trip right here—and it was the primary day we received solar earlier than midday! The solar began shinning at ten a.m. and it was the right temperature for exploring.
Fernandina Island
The most important pristine island on this planet, that is additionally the youngest island within the Galápagos. And once I say the youngest, I imply round a million years outdated. On prime of being the youngest…
this island can also be probably the most energetic volcanically!
The islands of Fernandina and Isabela have the most important iguanas you will discover anyplace within the Galápagos. And the seashore! The coastlines are beautiful, and there are wonderful cracks everywhere in the lava. You’ll positively wish to have your digicam helpful.
Punta Espinosa
That is most likely my fave spot within the Galápagos. The seashore is an extended stretch of lava and sand on Fernandina. We went for a brief stroll alongside the peninsula then adopted alongside the sting of the lava rock for an extended journey round.
The realm is stuffed with mangroves, tons of lava rock, and lovely lava cactus bunches. There are penguins, seals (numerous infants!), and blue-footed boobies in every single place you look.
After spending an unbelievable morning exploring Fernandina Island, we headed again to the MV Origin for lunch.
There was a ceviche snack ready for us, which was SUPER yummy! The Galápagos has its personal distinctive fashion of ceviche, so it’s positively one thing you’ll want to add to your must-have experiences on the islands.
