San Cristobal Darwin Interpretation Center

The following day, Saturday, we walked a kilometer out of town to the San Cristobal Darwin’s interpretation center. There we learned about: the history and formation of the islands, human impact and it's effects, the past and current conservation efforts on the islands, the islands connection with the explanation of evolution and its uniqueness in the world. We walked many lave rock trails surrounding the Center with lizards and endemic cactuses.
Later that day we walked down the coast to see the sea lion colonies, blue footed boobies and marine iguanas that live there.
