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 !!!!
