SITE OVERVIEW

Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is the capital of Galapagos Province, Ecuador. It is located on the southwestern coast of San Cristóbal, the easternmost island in the archipelago. One of the great advantages to staying in San Cristobal is the proximity of the airport to the town, only a quick five-minute taxi ride. In town you can find many modern-day amenities, including hotels, stores, banks, and restaurants. There are some beaches where sea lions can be seen lounging on the decks of the anchored boats and have taken over park benches.
