Day 3: Santiago: Sullivan Bay - Rabida
Sullivan Bay is a site of great geological interest. It is located at the south-east side of the Santiago Island and the landing in here can be made both in the rocky shore (dry landing) and in the white sand beach (wet landing). It takes approximately an hour and a half to complete the entire path.
Going to the northwest of the island of Santa Cruz, we find Dragon hill. The reason for its interesting name comes from way back in 1975, because it was one of the only places on Santa Cruz where Land iguanas were in healthy condition. The preservation of these lands iguanas has been going for decades, in fact, there are no dogs in this area in an attempt to protect the iguanas from being attacked.
In the lagoons in this site, there is shrimp (Artemia salina) which serves as food for flamingos; and depending on the season is more abundant so the population of these birds is larger. However, in very rainy seasons these lagoons become very sweet causing the crustacean populations to decrease and resulting in shorebirds scarcity as well.
Day 4: Santa Cruz: Highlands - Baltra
Santa Cruz is one of the beautiful islands you can visit during your luxury cruise aboard the Nemo II. It’s the second biggest island in the Galapagos and it’s located at the centre of the whole islands. The Highlands of the island has an exuberant vegetation, great leafy trees and tasty edible fruit. Read along and you will find information about the places you cannot miss to see during your time in Santa Cruz Highlands.
