Bartolomé Island

Why go

The appeal is how clearly the landscape reveals itself from above: a narrow strip of land divides two bays beside Pinnacle Rock. On the approach, red, orange, green and black formations show that volcanic scenery has more variety than a single dark lava field. The climb rewards an interest in landforms as much as photography.

What to look for

• Pinnacle Rock rises beside the paired bays.
• Lava cactus takes root in sparsely vegetated volcanic ground.
• Penguins and reef life may appear near the beach.

Useful to know

• Assess your comfort with a long wooden stairway before choosing the viewpoint visit.
• Ask which landings and beach activities your authorized excursion includes.
• Prepare separately for walking and any permitted water activity.
