Santa Cruz is the second biggest island in Galapagos, and it contains the most populated town. We visited the tortoise breeding center to learn about the daily efforts to restore the dynasty of these incredible reptiles. Our guests had time to explore the town, and to experience more local culture of the people in Galapagos. In the afternoon, we had the incredible experience of encountering giant tortoises in the wild. To finish the day’s adventures we visited the scalesia forest, where thousands of finches live. Our last full day of exploration ended with a great farewell cocktail, offered by our Captain and the crew of National Geographic Delfina. It was a great finale for an astonishing week.
