The day began with clear skies. A short walk along the main road on Puerto Ayora led us to the breeding center where we had the opportunity to see the baby tortoises. Next, we boarded buses for an exciting journey into the highlands. Our first stop was an ecological farm, where we learned about coffee production and hydroponic farming.
The highlight of the day was the anticipated visit to El Manzanillo Ranch, a property located along the migratory route for the tortoises. After a delicious lunch, we put on our rubber boots and ventured out to observe these majestic creatures in their natural habitat.
