Puerto Egas Galapagos | Cruise Port Guide
Frequently Asked Questions
At Puerto Egas, in James Bay on the west coast. Expedition ships anchor offshore and zodiacs bring passengers to a wet landing on the volcanic sand, at the foot of eroded cones.
No. The island remains uninhabited: no port, no village, no lights at night, only lava fields, dark beaches and wildlife that still has not learned to fear people. Every attempt at settlement here failed.
Because it is volcanic. The charcoal tone of the beach always surprises visitors arriving barefoot in the cool water of the landing.
A route of about two and a half kilometres along the shore, over lava sculpted by the ocean. At low tide, the basins carved into the rock become natural aquariums: anemones, urchins, fish trapped until the next tide, bright red crabs scattering over dark stone.
Yes, and it is often the only chance of the trip. At the end of the trail, the lava forms arches and deep pools where Galápagos fur seals shelter in the cool shade of grottoes. Long hunted for their pelts, they have come back from very far.
The seabed holds good surprises: grazing sea turtles, schools of surgeonfish, rays rippling over the sand and often a playful sea lion as escort. The water stays bracing, but few back out once the mask is on.
Both kinds. Water shoes for the wet landing and the beach, then closed soles for the trail, since the volcanic ground is uneven and abrasive.
Very little. Shade is scarce on this mineral coast swept by the offshore wind: a hat and water bottle are essential. The pace set by the guides stays deliberately slow, punctuated by observation stops.
Discreet traces behind the tide line, reminders of settlement attempts that all failed. A trail leads to the crater of the salt mine volcano for groups with more time available.
Yes, in 1835. The young naturalist of the Beagle spent several days there collecting plants and animals that would later feed his thinking on evolution. The setting has changed little since.
