This morning we anchored at the northeastern part of San Cristobal Island, Punta Pitt, where we had a hike to the top of a tuff cone to see blue-footed and red-footed boobies in their nests with chicks as well as some very interesting endemic to this specific island species like the lava lizards and the Chatham mockingbirds. After the hike, we had the opportunity to enjoy snorkeling, swimming and even paddle boarding along the shore, the presence of sea lions resting and playing was one of the highlights of the morning. In the afternoon, our National Geographic Endeavour II repositioned on the central west area of this same island to visit one of the most beautiful white sandy beaches of the archipelago named Cerro Brujo.
