Known as the first island Charles Darwin set foot on in the Galápagos, San Cristobal boasts a fascinating history linked to exploration and natural discovery. Over time, it has evolved into a vibrant hub welcoming travelers to marvel at its beauty and biodiversity.

When to Go

The island can be visited year-round, but there are two main seasons. The warm and wet season runs from December to May, with calmer seas and lush landscapes. The cool and dry season, from June to November, offers pleasant temperatures and a great chance to spot wildlife like sea lions and birds. Both periods have their charms—choose based on your favorite activities!
