Bartolomé is a volcanic islet almost deserted by vegetation, but tremendously beautiful. Its fame is due to the iconic Pinnacle Rock, a natural sculpture that rises from the sea, formed by layers of basalt following underwater eruptions. You’ll climb a wooden staircase to a 114m summit, from where you’ll enjoy spectacular views: Pinnacle Rock, Sullivan Bay, and the twin islands of Daphne Major and Minor.
