Today, we had the chance to spend our day among giants as we explored Santa Cruz Island to look for Galapagos giant tortoises. In the morning, we went to Fausto Llerena Breeding Center to observe Galapagos giant tortoises and saw several, from the very young to adults. This is the best opportunity to see the saddleback tortoise which is exclusive to the archipelago.
After having lunch at a local restaurant, we got on a bus and headed to the highlands where we explored a local farm and looked for wild tortoises. We were surprised to find a couple mating tortoises and several juveniles and adults roaming the farm.
