Travel Pro Adventure #15: Hiking the South Western Coast of San Cristobal Island, Galapagos! Part Two, Where are we? (22 photos, 2 videos)

Hey there my Steemit friends! Thank you for joining me on this second part of our adventure in the Galapagos, exploring the south western coast. In the last part we got an early start and headed out in the rain around 6:30 in the morning.

I always prefer to get an early start to my day when I know I'm going to be doing a lot of outdoor activity. The sun comes up at 6:30 in the morning but most people don't do much until around nine or ten am. Which is fine but when I know I'm going to be hiking I try my best to avoid the mid day sun by taking advantage of that early morning daylight.

As it turned out I really didn't have to worry about that. It was dreary and overcast all day, but I still enjoyed that early start. We made our way out of town and found the trail that took us to Playa Punta Carola. Here we observed some fantastic wildlife and caught our first glimpse of the cruise ship that turns into a good reference point during out entire adventure.

We ended off finding the trail that with fingers crossed would take us to the top of this hill called La Tejeretas. From there, there is a hiking trail that goes on for several kilometers north along the coast. Now we're still close to town there for this area is frequented often and has this nice walkway. Hopefully this path takes us to where we want to go. There is only one way to find out! Now come along and let's see where this leads to!
