Baltra is the only island of the Galápagos which is not part of the national park, but navy territory. This is also the reason why there are no visitor sites on the islands.
The main airport of the Galapagos Islands is located at this island. There are a few souvenir shops near the airport and there is supposed to be a bar some where on the island. Most people just stay long enough to take the bus to Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz (Galapagos) or to the docks to go to their cruiseboat.
An important tip is to buy your postcards as soon as you arrive in Baltra so that you have something to post from Floreana#Post_Office_Bay
