SITE OVERVIEW

San Cristobal is one of the most visited islands in the Galápagos. Most of the commercial flights to and from mainland Ecuador come through the airport located there. 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. The capital of the Galápagos is also located on the island of San Cristobal, in the town of Baquerizo Moreno.
