”To appreciate a river, mountain or forest for the challenge
it poses is to miss the real adventure in Nature travel:
To appreciate the complexities of things beyond ourselvs.”

The southwestern half of this island is inhabited and is formed by an extinct volcano. The other half of the island, the northeastern part, contrast dramatically, with flat, dry and harsh environments. The San Cristobal Interpretation Center was donated by Spanish government in 1998.
