Pinnacle Rock (Bartolomé Island)

This iconic volcanic tuff cone rises dramatically from turquoise waters, crowned with a distinctive pinnacle that has become the emblem of Galápagos beauty. The stairway to its summit rewards you with sweeping views of the surrounding islands and Pinnacle Beach below, where playful Galápagos penguins and spotted eagle rays patrol crystalline waters. Standing atop this weathered sentinel feels like reaching the heart of the archipelago's volcanic soul.
