The Galapagos Islands - Las Bachas (Santa Cruz)

Sally Lightfoot crab

Las Bachas - Galapagos islands - Ecuador - equator

Our yacht is anchored in Las Bachas (Santa Cruz island)

 

Onze eerste verkenning op het kleine eilandje. Wandelen en snorkelen. We zien er talrijke Sally lightfoot krabben. Ook de Grote Blauwe reiger, de bruine pelikaan en de Grote Flamingo trokken onze aandacht!

 

 

Las Bachas is a white sand beach ideal for swimming. White sand is interspersed with rocks where easy and safe snorkelling can be practiced. A Great Blue Heron on the outlook.

The beach is also a nesting site for the Pacific Green Sea Turtle.

 

Rocks serve as resting place for the Brown Pelican and habitat for the colorful Sally Lightfoot Crabs, which are found on all islands in plentiful numbers.
