Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is the capital of the Galápagos province, on the southwest coast of San Cristóbal Island. Charles Darwin's HMS Beagle first made landfall in the archipelago on San Cristóbal in 1835. The town today is a relaxed harbour where sea lions loll on the waterfront and the airport is minutes from the centre.
A practical first trip balances the must-sees with one unscheduled half-day.
