San Cristóbal at a glance

This is San Cristóbal

A warm seaside capital where sea lions rest on the sand and daily life intertwines with adventure at sea. The archipelago's easternmost island welcomes travelers with warmth and endless experiences: hikes through ocean-facing landscapes, encounters with marine wildlife, and voyages that begin steps from the heart of town.

Discover San Cristóbal

Swim and snorkel in crystal-clear waters teeming with life, climb to viewpoints with unforgettable vistas, learn the islands' natural history at their interpretation centers, and set off on memorable voyages departing right from the capital. Adventure and discovery within arm's reach.

Downtown of San Cristóbal

Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is the soul of the island and the capital of Galápagos: a lively waterfront where sea lions are the true stars, restaurants with local flavor, squares full of life, and a harbor atmosphere that blends authenticity and hospitality. The perfect starting point for every day.

Around San Cristóbal

Beyond the capital, the island reveals unique treasures: the imposing León Dormido rock rising from the ocean, the beaches of Puerto Chino and La Lobería, the El Junco lagoon in the green highlands, and reserves where giant tortoises live free. A mosaic of landscapes that invites you to explore.
