San Cristóbal Island

Charming city with so many amazing nature options to explore

I have visited Santa Cruz, Isabela and San Cristobal and the last one has my favorite “walking street by the sea”: clean, properly done with nice restaurants and bars ( unfortunately they are all closing at 23:00).

Don't miss the chance to spend a couple of days on this relaxed, beautiful island. There are many things to do here, and you do not need a guide to visit many of them. The tortoise conservation center, La Loberia, Punta Carola, the interpretation center and the hikes behind it are all excellent places to appreciate Galapagos wildlife and landscapes. They are all free to enter. The restaurants have excellent lunch specials for $5 to $8. Ask for the lunch special, it won't be printed on the menu. It will have rice, a protein, and a juice, and some restaurants offer vegetarian options.

The Galápagos Islands "Enchanted Islands" is the best place in Ecuador, very safe, there’re unique and native animals. You should visit it at least once in your life.

Great island. Very good tours go out of here. Surprisingly, it is cheaper than Santa Cruz. The sea lion are so playful, and you can also see them (and some other animals) for free in some free beaches. I would recommend La Loberia (to the south) and Las Tigares (to the north).

Rating this because of the experience at DL COCO Restaurant Thieves! Stay Away from This Restaurant! I had an awful experience at this restaurant. After finishing my meal, which cost $6, I paid with a $50 bill and a $1 coin. However, they returned only $15, claiming | had paid with a $20 bill instead of $51. I had to call the police to file a report to ensure this doesn't happen to other tourists. I kept a record of my transaction, and the $50 bill was leftover from a recent tour booking, so there's no way I made a mistake. Clearly, this place is run by thieves. Stay far away if you don't want to fall victim to this. If it happens to you, please report to the police and show this as a record that this has happened before at this place. It’s a shame this happen in Galapagos. Good experience all ruined by this!

In my first hour I saw masses of exotic wildlife, met amazingly friendly and helpful locals and had great coffee

Very nice Iceland, not too crowded an with very beautiful place to visit and a lot of swimming with sea lions not more than 2 meters distance ...I recommend one day walking around the Centro di interpretazione (free), One day doing the 360 tour by boat (150 dollars), one day by taxi visiting the inside of the island (turtle farm + Vulcan + beach) and an other day watching the surfers at the beautiful beach Plays Liberia (1 hour walk from centre). Most beautiful place for me is the Bahia Rosa Blanca which is a real paradise....
