Upon arrival in Baltra, a guide will be waiting for us to take this wonderful adventure at the Galapagos Islands. After a friendly welcome, we will visit THE HIGHLANDS AND THE LAVA TUNNELS of Santa Cruz, to enjoy the wonderful and very famous giant tortoises in their natural habitat; these animals of prehistoric aspect lengthen their necks to eat and be photographed by our visitors at the Archipelago. At the same time, getting to know these giants, is one of the biggest expectations for the passengers. The density of vegetation in this forest, including orchids, daisies, and bromeliads, give also a place to be the habitat of several endemic land birds including Darwin’s finches, Galapagos Hawks, short-eared owls, Yellow Warblers, Galapagos Rails, Vermilion Flycatchers, and Paint-billed Crakes. Have a delicious lunch surrounded by nature.

Later on, transfer to Puerto Ayora and go to the CHARLES DARWIN STATION, where we will visit THE TORTOISE BREEDING CENTER and can observe the different species of tortoises on the other islands. The Charles Darwin research station is the operational center of the Charles Darwin Foundation. Their mission is to provide knowledge and assistance through scientific research and other actions to guarantee the conservation of biodiversity and the environment in the Archipelago of Galapagos.
