This is a section of the trail we followed when we hiked on South Plaza Island in the Galapagos. This path goes across a ridge, with a steep drop to the ocean on our right hand side.
A small number of other boats were anchored near us in Darwin Bay at Genovesa Island in the Galapagos, including this interesting one.
These steps, carved into the wall surrounding Darwin Bay on Genovesa Island, allow access to the higher ground.
