Cerro Dragon and Sombrero Chino
We looked to the west, to the north and to the east, and it was quiet everywhere. No wind, very flat seas, clear, completely clear sky, and to the south, a green and impressive island, Santa Cruz. We had a land iguana morning walk, and afterwards a fantastic snorkeling outing around Guy Fawks islets. We saw sharks, rays and colourful fish, and the background was a wall made up of tuff and decorated by colourful marine invertebrates.
The afternoon found us at a new site, Sombrero Chino. What a surprise to spot, from the sky deck, a few flamingos inside one of the Bainbridge islets. They inhabit a salt water lake in one of these tuff cones south of Santiago Island. We offered different water activities for the afternoon. Snorkeling was outstanding, with more sharks, rays and even penguins in turquoise and calm waters. Some guests went to the beach to join our Wellness Specialist for a stretching session, having as a backdrop, “Chinese hat” or sombrero Chino spatter cone.
Kayakers enjoyed the calm waters in between Santiago Island and Sombrero Chino, and during sunset time we offered a Zodiac ride so people could take pictures of this wonderful scenery: candelabra cacti on black fields of lava and the red sphere setting behind our adopted island, Santiago.
