San Cristobal is the name of the island. Puerto Baquerizo Moreno is the name of the principal town on the island, a port on the ocean where New Era Galapagos is located. The population of the whole island is approximately 5,000, most of whom live in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno. What is the weather like on San Cristobal? There are two seasons in the Galapagos, a dry season and a wet season. Surprisingly, the “dry season”, from June to November, tends to be cloudier and cooler and frequently there is a mist in the air, called the gara, more so in the highlands than in town. While real rain is infrequent, it does occur during the dry season. When the sun is out, it can be quite warm, even hot, and evenings are quite cool. The “wet season”, from December to May, tends to be much hotter, with more frequent rain and also more intense sun. In which time zone is San Cristobal? The Galapagos are one hour behind Quito. They are parallel to MDT (mountain daylight time) or CST (central standard time)
