Flights to San Cristobal
Galapagos Islands.

San Cristóbal, the eastern jewel of the Galapagos archipelago, is a unique destination that fuses history, biodiversity and the warmth of its people. With an estimated age of 2.35 million years and formerly known as Chatham Island, this island stands out not only for being the easternmost of the archipelago, but also for hosting the administrative capital, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. This picturesque town invites you to immerse yourself in the local hospitality while discovering the cultural and natural legacy that has captivated travelers and scientists for generations.

San Cristobal Airport, one of the two main airports in the province, connects directly with Guayaquil and Quito, facilitating access to a destination that marked history by receiving the landing of Charles Darwin in 1835 and being the site of the first human settlement in Galapagos. This air connection is key for those seeking to explore the ecological richness of the region quickly and conveniently.

San Cristóbal’s emblematic fauna is another of its great attractions. In its waters and along its coasts, it is possible to observe the majestic Galapagos sea lion, the imposing frigate bird, the curious marine iguana, as well as various species of boobies, including the red-footed booby, the blue-footed booby and the Nazca booby. Not to mention the presence of the emblematic giant tortoise, a living symbol of evolution and conservation in these islands.

For ecotourism and adventure lovers, San Cristóbal offers unmissable sites such as La Galapaguera, Cerro Brujo, Punta Pitt, León Dormido, Puerto Chino, Parte Alta and La Loberia. Each of these places allows you to enjoy amazing landscapes and a protected natural environment, ideal for sustainable activities and educational excursions.
