Uninhabited island Bartolome day tour

Option Bartolome: When you arrive at Bartolomé, you will disembark and begin a short guided walk of just 800 meters following a trail that will take you to one of the best views of all the Galapagos Islands. To get to this viewpoint, you will climb 115 meters above sea level, and about 400 steps, but believe me, it will be worth it.

From there, you will see the famous Galapagos pinnacle, all of Bartolome Island and part of Santiago Island. If the day is clear, you will even be able to see other more distant islands such as Marchena and La Pinta. In just one day, you will have seen the panoramic view of the surrounding islands.
