Day 2: San Cristóbal, La Galapaguera
Our guide will be waiting for you in San Cristóbal Airport and once the group of passengers is completed he will accompany you to the Archipell Catamaran which anchors at Baquerizo Moreno harbor. After arrival on board, we will check in and give you general information. You will have lunch on board. Afterwards you will start with your first excursion to the Galapaguera which is located in the northeast part of San Cristóbal Island. It has been created to conserve the San Cristóbal tortoise species. The center has the goal to lead and guide the tourists in conservation topics and environment protection. An attractive trail with native plants leads to meeting giant tortoises in their natural habitat. (B/L/D) -
Day 3: South Plazas Island – Santa Fe Island
South Plazas has unique Sesuvium plants and Opuntia cactuses scattered across the landscape which provide some of the most interesting wildlife observation available in the Galapagos. Land iguanas are easily seen from the trail, frequently under the shade of cactuses, waiting for a prickly pear to fall.
Santa Fe is one of the most entertaining destinations for shore excursions in the Galapagos Islands. It has two trail choices for visitors, one of which takes you to the tallest Opuntia cactus in the Galapagos, while the other trail takes you into the highlands where land iguanas can be seen. After a long walk, the opportunity to swim in calm waters or snorkel with playful sea lions will be pretty tempting. (B/L/D) -
Day 4: Floreana, Asilo de la Paz (Peace Asylum) – Loberia
Peace Asylum is a visitor site where a freshwater artisan spring is located. This spring attracted pirates, whalers and even the settlers to Floreana which is one of the very few places with fresh water in the Galapagos all year long. La Cueva de los Piratas (Pirates’ Cave) is where pirates carved temporary shelter out of soft stone and is also where the first settlers found refuge.
La Loberia is a small beach which is home to a colony of sea lions, as well as some marine iguanas. It is possible to walk there from the town for some recreational snorkeling. If you are lucky, the sea lions will come out to join you! Extremely fortunate snorkelers may spot a ray or a shark. (B/L/D) -
Day 5: Santa Cruz Island – The Charles Darwin Research Station – Highlands –Tortuga Bay-Chi SPA
Charles Darwin Research Station consists of an information center, a museum, a library and a tortoise breeding station. In the tortoise breeding station you can encounter tortoises of different subspecies, which are getting prepared for reintroduction to their natural habitats.
The Highlands of Santa Cruz have incredible zones of vegetation. There you will visit the private farm “Las Primicias”. This reserve offers you one of the best possibilities to see the huge tortoises of Santa Cruz Island in their natural habitat. You can observe them from a very short distance.
Tortuga Bay is considered to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the Galapagos. The sunsets here are just stunning. It is also a favorite place for sea turtles (which gave the name to the beach), sea lions, marine iguanas, pelicans, flamingos and lava gulls which are endemic to the Islands. From there you will have a transfer to one of the camps on the Islands. In the afternoon, we will enjoy a wonderful relaxed time at the Chi Spa. (B/L/D) -
