Nestled in the highlands, this scenic crater lake is surrounded by lush vegetation and is a haven for birdlife. It’s a favourite gathering place for frigatebirds, which can often be seen soaring above or dipping into the waters to rinse their feathers — a rare sight in the saltwater-dominated islands. The misty surroundings and elevated viewpoint offer a peaceful and refreshing experience.
Optional Experience 2 – Lobos Island: In the afternoon, you may opt to explore Lobos Island, a peaceful haven named after its resident colony of Galápagos sea lions. This narrow islet is also home to Galápagos fur seals, blue-footed boobies, and nesting frigatebirds. Short hiking trails lead through the island’s interior, where you can quietly observe the wildlife and soak in the unspoiled atmosphere. Back on the beach, enjoy superb opportunities for snorkelling and swimming in the calm, turquoise waters of the sheltered channel separating Lobos from San Cristóbal. With its clear visibility, this spot is often graced by sightings of manta rays and, occasionally, harmless reef sharks.

This morning, enjoy your final breakfast in the Galápagos Islands as you take in the peaceful island atmosphere one last time. Don’t forget to snap a few parting shots of the ever-charming sea lions lounging near your hotel or along the waterfront — a signature sight of San Cristóbal.
You’ll then transfer to San Cristóbal Airport in time to catch your domestic flight back to Quito, soaring once again over Ecuador’s contrasting landscapes — from volcanic archipelagos to the towering Andes.
Upon arrival in the capital, you’ll be transferred to your hotel. The remainder of the afternoon is free at leisure to rest, explore independently, or revisit your favourite spots in Quito. Whether you stroll through the colonial plazas or enjoy a coffee in a local café, this is a lovely chance to absorb the charm of this Andean city at your own pace.
Quito from Above – Cable Car & Panoramic Viewpoints
Later today, rise above the rooftops of the capital and venture to one of Quito’s most awe-inspiring attractions — the TelefériQo cable car.

As the cable car climbs to an altitude of around 4,000 metres (13,123 feet), you’ll be treated to sweeping views of Quito and the Andes Mountains beyond. From the top, weather permitting, you may even spot some of Ecuador’s most iconic volcanoes on the horizon, including Cotopaxi and Cayambe.
These panoramic lookout points offer a deeper appreciation of the city’s unique geography — nestled in a narrow valley and flanked by towering peaks. It’s the perfect spot for photography, reflection, and to take in the vastness of the Andean highlands.
