San Cristobal island is not the largest (fifth largest one in the archipelago), but it has the second largest population. You will most likely visit or stay at the island’s main city, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the capital of the Galapagos Islands, located on the southwest point. If you haven’t seen any sea lions during your Galapagos visit, you will be happy to arrive to Puerto Baquerizo Moreno; they are literally lying around everywhere! Most hotels are situated within walking distance of the pier, as are most restaurants, small supermarkets and souvenir shops. There is a great variety of wildlife found all over San Cristobal; sea lions, blue-footed boobies, Galapagos tortoises, marine iguanas and the Chatham mockingbird that can only be found on San Cristobal.
