Travel Pro Adventure #12: Hiking the Southern Coast of San Cristobal Island, Galapagos! Part Three, The Search for the Blue-Footed Booby! (26 photos, 1 video)

in #travel7 years ago (edited)

Hey there my Steemit friends! Welcome back to the Galapagos! We find ourselves on the trail hiking along the southern coast of San Cristobal Island. This is the island that Charles Darwin spent the majority of his time studying and coming up with the theory of evolution.

I'm not really sure how he came to those conclusions I just see a bunch of animals well adapted to their environment. But that's just me! Speaking of animals this trek really is offering more than we bargained for. In part one we ventured around the beach area where we met several playful sea lions. In part two we stumbled into iguana territory.

In this part three we head out of the iguana area and up high into the cliffs in search of the famous Blue-Footed Booby. This bird of sea is one of the more famous inhabitants of the Galapagos Islands. I don't know if we will need luck on our side to see this thing, or like the iguanas they'll be everywhere! Now come along and let's do our best to find the Booby!

Nice post, keep it up, good that you could find the blue footed booby, I think that in San Cristobal you can find also the Red Footed Booby, it is even rarer.

The animals love: God gave them the beginning of thoughts and joy of serenity. Do not resent her, do not torment them, do not take away their joy, do not resist the thought of God. Man, do not ascend above the animals: they are sinless, and you, with your greatness, are suppurating the earth with your appearance on it and leaving your purulent trace behind you, alas, almost every one of us! I liked your post.

And again great shots! You're really skilled in catching animals on pictures :D

a very cool and nice place to visit and lots of animals are also in that place @world-travel-pro

Hiya, just swinging by to let you know that this post made the Honorable mentions list in today's Travel Digest!

Really glad to see you found the booby, you seemed a bit obsessed and I didn't want to see you walk away disappointed. So, was it all that?

Pictures are so nature. Very nice picture of nature. I could feel of freedom and peace. Nice shot.
