I had to be close to there many years ago , I remember a huge sea lion at the hotel door every day , wait for him to leave or for the hotel owner to shoo him away ,it is a nice area , Playa Mann a Caribbean type beach with white sands and a crystal clear sea , San Cristobal is cheap and familiar. Climbing the mountains is like being in the tropical rain forest between the coast and the mountains. Galapagos is super relaxing..
Strongly agree, San Cristóbal is very good for me because of its tranquility and closeness to everything.. nice story you tell us, Thank you.
