San Cristobal, Galapagos
Returning to San Cristobal before flying to back to mainland Ecuador.
Four islands support human populations, with the majority of people living on Santa Cruz and San Cristobal. San Cristobal is home to roughly 6,000 people, most who make their living in government, tourism, and fishing.
San Cristobal Island is composed of three or four fused volcanoes, all extinct. It is home to the oldest permanent settlement of the archipelago, and it is where Darwin first went ashore in 1835. A small lake, El Junco, is located in a crater in the highlands, and is the only source of fresh water for all of the Galapagos.
