Cerro Brujo (Wizard Hill) is one of the nicest white-sand beaches found in the islands. It is situated in a secluded spot on the western side of San Cristobal, with beautiful views of Leon Dormido in the distance. We walked along the beach trail searching for marine iguanas, sea lions, and Sally Lightfoot crabs.Day Five: Day five is spent at Gardner Bay, Española Island. It's a leisurely morning on the southernmost island in the Gálapagos. At Gardner Bay, the group has another encounter with sea lions. Swimming and snorkeling here provide a great opportunity to spot a wide variety of marine life up close. On an afternoon trip to Punta Suárez the group is looking for the Galápagos Hawk and the red-form of the marine iguana. What else will they observe this afternoon?

Española is the southernmost island in the Gálapagos. It is best known as the nesting place of the rare Waved Albatross.
