Ecuador - Galápagos
Islands |
In 1934, Galápagos Islands were declared “Animals
sanctuary” in 1934.
Lying on the Equator 970 km west of the Ecuadorian coast, the
Galapagos consist of 6 main islands, 12 smaller islands and over
40 small islets.
The islands host many volcanoes
and the terrain is basically basaltic.
The most spectacular species to be seen by the visitor are the
giant tortoise; marine iguana (the only seagoing lizard in the
world and found throughout most of the archipelago); land iguana;
Galapagos albatross; Galapagos hawk; red-footed, blue-footed and
masked boobies, red billed tropic-bird, frigate birds, dusky lava lizard, mockingbirds and Galapagos sea-lion.

Just once in life ...
The biggest spectacle of wildlife on the planet
They were nicknamed the "enchanted islands", "Noah's Ark",
"laboratory of evolution" and all other ways to describe the big
scale that nature can offer to privileged few who access. The
landscape is not that what you might think: Despite the fact that
the islands are on the equator in the Pacific volcanic rock abound,
and there are few beaches. But make no mistake ...
We do not go Galapagos sunbathing and relaxing but enjoy nature and
learn her. In a few days, you will see scenes of wildlife that are
normally reserved for researchers who have devoted many years to
observe the animals. And a few steps. Sure first you should not take
any pictures of an animal because you will be closest to him ! Enjoy
this trip to share unique sensations but remember respect rules.
None of them is a whim. Islands live balancing precarious and need
our attention and protection.
Far, only ...
A 1000 km of Ecuador, this archipelago of 19 main islands and
numerous islets offers a wilderness that you can almost touch. Most
practical is an organized trip. Some rules and tips:
A visit to these islands is highly regulated to avoid as much as
possible the impact of tourism. Be aware that you can not stay in an
area that belongs to a national park without a guide with you,
carrying food or smoking. For this latter point to worry, compulsive
smokers say they forget cigarettes in front of such a spectacle ...
On islands you can only walk on tagged trails but ago already so
many things to see, like birds nesting path eg ... There are other
rules: do not animals, not throwing garbage not take sand or plants.
Economic cruises not provide diving equipment therefore you should
bring it. Take lots of film and memory card because you'll go crazy
taking pictures ...
Puerto Ayora, central operation:
Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island, is the most populated of the
Galapagos, and the place from which organized the visits if you have
not planned ahead. Do not forgot to visit Puerto Ayora’s periphery,
and research center Charles Darwin (Monday to Friday 7 to 13 pm and
14 to 16 h and Saturday 7 to 13 h) where you find information on the
islands, various types of turtles, including Lonesome George, the
last specimen of the subspecies from Pinta Island. You can walk to
your home in the area of the island that is not a national park, go
to Tortuga Bay (to see the sunset), or visit the volcanic tubes
about 3 km from Puerto Ayora on the road to Bellavista.
You can also go to the turtle´s swimming pool Chato (take the bus to
Bellavista three per day - and tell the driver to drop you off at
the Crossroads). There are several agencies in Puerto Ayora
organizing guided tours of the island.
Open objective:
To move on the various islands and the best way is to do it with a
cruise. Obviously, the best being that in the long run because they
can visit the islands and there are no two alike. You should choose
according to your interests, because there are islands on which
there are more animals than others. For example, Española is a good
place if you want to dive and see the largest marine iguanas of the
archipelago. Bartholome is one of the best places to see penguins,
and Floreana, in addition to land on a sandy beach of green, you can
dive in the Corona del Diablo, a volcano almost submerged.
Have a good time at Galapagos !!!! |
