Bartolome Adventure Tours
Bartolome is a volcanic islet just off the east coast of Santiago Island. It is one of the “younger” islands in the Galapagos archipelago. Isla Bartolome is among the younger of the Galápagos Islands. With a total land area of just 1.2 km², this island offers some of the most beautiful landscapes in the archipelago. The island consists of an extinct volcano and a variety of red, orange, green, and glistening black volcanic formations. Bartolome has a volcanic cone that is easy to climb and provides great views of the other islands.
Bartolome is famous for its Pinnacle Rock, which is the distinctive characteristic of this island, and the most representative landmark of the Galapagos.
It has two visitor sites. At the first one, you may swim and snorkel around Pinnacle Rock; the underwater world there is really impressive. You can snorkel with the penguins, marine turtles, white-tipped reef sharks, and other tropical fish. The bay is also an excellent place to go swimming. The twin bays are separated by a narrow isthmus.
Galapagos penguins are frequently seen, and a small cave behind Pinnacle Rock houses a breeding colony. Seasonally, Bartolome is the mating and nesting site for the green sea turtles. Herons make use of the gentler beaches. The Galapagos lava cacti colonize the new lava fields.
