Punta
Pitt is located on the Northeast corner of San Cristobal Island
It is the only site in the Galapagos where you can watch the 3 species of boobies and 2 species of frigate birds nesting in the same area While Joe explored by land, Eileen toured by sea in the zodiac So these photos offer 2 perspectives - looking up at the cliffs and down from the trail |
