Galapagos trip - Puerto Ayora and some sceneries
|
The last part of our trip was 10 days in Galapagos. We spent first two days in the biggest town, Puerto Ayora and then boarded M/Y Mistral for one week liveaboard diving / naturalist cruise. 10 days was far too short time. I think one week of diving and at least one week of land visits is the minimum. This page has pictures taken from several islands. As our trip was mostly diving we went to the remote islands of Darwing and Wolf that offer excellent diving. Darwin's arch is one of the most impressive sights in Galapagos. The galapagos islands - the enchanted islands - are just magical. Humans almost destroyed in 400 years the whole place but today the magic is still there and the Charles Darwing research station is doing it's best to undo some of the damage that has been done by the man. Please visit Charles Darwin research station pages to see what they are doing and donate something to help preserve the magic. |
