Puerto Baquerizo Moreno (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpweɾto βakeˈɾiso moˈɾeno]) is the capital of Galápagos Province, Ecuador. It is located on the southwestern coast of San Cristóbal, the easternmost island in the archipelago, and is the capital of San Cristóbal Canton. It was founded by General Villamil Playas in the mid-19th century, and takes its name from President Alfredo Baquerizo Moreno (1859–1951). Today, fishing is the main activity of the locals, but tourism is on the increase along the waterfront with numerous hotels and shops.

We got lucky on the day and saw 20 hammerheads, 6 Eagle rays, a bunch of reef and Galapagos sharks, and countless turtles. The divers on the other hand didn't see anything. So it depends on the conditions what you're going to see.

Nice hike along a boardwalk to the Interpretation Center - interesting displays that explain the history, development, and Charles Darwin’s role in the Galápagos Islands. Continue on to scenic viewing areas, a great spot to snorkel, a monument to Darwin, and a path to a beach covered with sea lions. Wear your walking shoes and swim suit. Great way to spend a few hours.

Neat placement of the statue. The stone pathways that traverse this corner of the island are astonishing. They must have been some hard work to lay down. Lovely View

This is right next to the water. It's a great place to watch the pelicans and sea lions. Plus crabs and marine iguanas.
