Bartolomé
Bartolomé is a small island consisted two volcanic cones and a strange peak, the Pinnacle Rock'n'roll. Before unloading, we observe our first Penguins of the Galapagos (Spheniscus mendiculus) as well as the Oyster ones of America (Haematopus palliatus) on the beach.
It is one of smallest (1,1 km ²) of the archipelago, but also one of most interesting. At the top of the Pinnacle Rock'n'roll you will be able to contemplate one of most photographed the panoramas archipelago.
It is a very impressive small island located opposite the Sullivan bay, offering a real landscape of volcanic desolation. Cones of tuffs, cones in dung of cow, slag formations and black volcanic sand. The visitors however adores it because it offers a very beautiful beach and a bay to calm and transparent water.
The vegetation is rather rare, only some cacti pioneers colonize this mineral desert. We reach the highest top with 111 meters with the top of the sea level. From here one discovers, a panoramic sight on bay of Sullivan, with our feet two sand beaches gilded underline the isthmus of Bartolomé, on the line the Rock pinnacle draws up a such menhir.
