Bahia Tortuga is another amazing beach on Santa Cruz just 1 mile outside of Puerto Ayora.  To get to the beach, you have to walk this wonderfully bricked path to the beach.  The National Parks system has done a fantastic job with their trails and paths and this pic is just an example of how well maintained they are.

着いて早々にダブルブッキングがわかった。これは施設というよりも、貴社のシステムの問題。前回も宿泊名簿に名前がなかったこともあり、強く改善をもとめる。

Verified traveller

I would recommend The Rock for lunch or cocktails and the Galapagos Deli for breakfast - their freshly baked bread is delicious. The Charles Darwin research centre is obviously worth a visit and is free!

4/5 - Good

Puerto Ayora is a friendly place to relax, find many excellent restaurants and bars.

4/5 - Good

We were a little disappointed with Puerto Ayora it is more commercialised that we thought. However we had a great time. Highlights - tortoises in Highlands, Seymour Norte and Las Grietas - oh and the street food at night.
