Navy Base - Spanish Stairs

The steps are historical remains here from the Spanish colonization of Guam between 1521 and 1898. The Spanish built steps down the mountain, which can still be seen today. The hike traces the path of the original staircase, so the deteriorating steps are going part of the way down. There is also a Spanish well at the bottom of those steps; possibly built to supply fresh water to Fort Santiago on top of the cliffs. It is located on the Naval base, so you must go with a military person to access them.














We saw a turtle like this at Fish Eve but he was moving so the pictures didn't turn out.
