The only site in the Galapagos where all three species of boobies nest: blue-footed, red-footed and Nazca, along with two species of frigate birds.
It is located in the northeast corner of San Cristóbal, on a volcanic cone of tuff with an olivine beach and spectacular cliffs.
Territorially inhabited by a colony of bachelor sea lions, whose behavior and sounds greet the visitor upon arriving at the beach.

The only island in the archipelago where all three types of boobies nest simultaneously without competing for food.
On the landing beach you will hear the characteristic “noise” of single sea lions, a kind of “natural welcome”.
