Bartolomé

This 1.2sq.km/.7sq.mi island is one of the most popular areas in the islands. There are two main visitor sites. The first is reached by a trail which leads through a lava field to the highest point on the island at 114m/364ft. Views from the top extend to Santiago and the surrounding areas. This view is one of the most commonly photographed spots in the islands.

The other visitor site on the island involves a wet landing on a beach. There is good snorkeling and swimming and an opportunity to swim with Galápagos penguins and marine turtles. A trail leads from here to another nearby beach.
