A Stroll Around Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Galapagos

Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is the main town on the island of San Cristobal.  It is small and walkable from most hotels although taxis are also available very cheaply.  There are plenty of hotels here to accommodate any budget and most of them can be booked online either with the hotel’s website or any online travel agency.  Don’t be too worried about location as everything is pretty much a 5-10 minute walk from anywhere else in town.  The main street alongside the beach has lots of cafes, tour operators, dive shops and souvenir shops.

Feel free to sit down and relax but don’t be surprised if a sea lion sits next to you!DSCN0867 DSCN0866 DSCN0860 DSCN0859 DSCN0873

I love the artwork scattered around town on buildings, walls and even bridges.DSCN0874 DSCN0893

Shopping is a favourite activity in the eveningDSCN0892 DSCN0891

Calypso became our favourite restaurant for dinner.  The food was great, not expensive, they take credit cards and you can’t beat the location!  Try the 4 cheese pizza, yummy!DSCN0876 DSCN0877 DSCN0875

This is the town around lunch time. Some shops will be open but most aren’t.  We found a small burger joint to have lunch in, then took a siesta as it was around 38c!DSCN0923 DSCN0924 DSCN0926 DSCN0927 DSCN0928 DSCN0929
