SAN CRISTOBAL ISLAND, GALAPAGOS, ECUADOR : The fifth largest of the Galapagos Islands in terms of size, Isla San Cristobal has the second largest human settlement of this volcanic island chain. Also known as Chatham Island, Isla San Cristobal is important because it is home to the provincial capital of the Galapagos, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno which sits on the island’s southwestern end. Around 560 sq km in size, Isla San Cristobal is named in honor of Christopher Columbus, and is the second most popular island after Isla Santa Cruz, as there is a domestic airport here as well as a number of hotels, tour/travel companies, restaurants, and bars.

Information on San Cristobal above and on captions of the photos are taken from:

RABIDA ISLAND, GALAPAGOS, ECUADOR : Rabida Island is located south of Santiago. Rabida is one of the most volcanically varied islands in the chain. Geologically consisting of eroded hills and lava emitted from spatter cones that have resulted in island's striking colors. A visit begins with a wet landing on the deep maroon colored northern beach.

 Named after an 18th century British admiral, John Jervis, the Earl of St. Vincent, Isla Rabida is also commonly known by its English name of Jervis Island. Sitting some 5 km south of Isla Santiago, this tiny island is just roughly five square kilometers in size. Known for its unique reddish-maroon terrain, Isla Rabida is also home to large populations of sea lions, pelicans and flamingoes. 

These group of islands forming the Galapagos Archipelago in Ecuador is known for being pristine. Though this island is uninhabited, visiting here is a must to enjoy the intriguing natural beauty and wildlife of the area. It is recommended that you see it now before it turns to something like Hawaii. The Ecuadorian government is having a hard time to control human invasion, not the tourist, but also Ecuadorian citizens and migrants from other countries.

UNESCO declared the archipelago a World Heritage Site in 1978.

The photographs shown here were taken in July 2008.
