Why go

The interpretation center is useful for understanding the islands' natural origins alongside the history of human settlement. It gives a visit to San Cristóbal a framework beyond individual animal encounters. Allow time for the exhibits before continuing onto the separate coastal paths and viewpoints outside.

What to look for

  • Displays trace the natural history of the archipelago
  • Human settlement and conservation share the interpretation route

Useful to know

  • Walk north from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno.
  • Confirm current public access at the entrance; the outdoor trails beyond the center are separate visits.
