Today, we arrived at Santa Cruz Island, one of four inhabited islands, that has the largest human population estimated at 25,000 people in Puerto Ayora. The outing allowed us to visit one of the most emblematic private organizations of conservation in Ecuador, the Charles Darwin Research Station. We learned all about the Galapagos Breeding Center Giant Tortoise Program.
In the afternoon, we arrived at Manzanillo Reserve and enjoyed the culture and identity of Galapaguenos, learning everything about the farming area of Santa Cruz. We spent the remainder of the afternoon surrounded by the magnificent icons of the Galapagos, the giant land tortoises. Today’s visit was outstanding!
