BARTOLOME IS A UNIQUE CORNER OF THE WORLD filled with breathtaking landscapes. We hiked to the highest point on the summit trail. The volcanic ash trail is covered with a small stepped easy to manage wooden stairway. Pinnacle Rock, often visible, is the most photographed site in the Galapagos.
Along with my friend, Angela, we joined a group on the lovely boat Narel for the day trip from Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz island to Bartolome. On the boat trip we were served breakfast and lunch. Once anchored we went by dinghy to the shore.
We travelled back in time to the formation of lava tubes and spatter cones.
We were able to see pioneer plants that were establishing roots on relatively very new ground. These plants included many species of cactus.
We had two opportunities to snorkel on the trip.
