We arrived at Santa Cruz Island with clear skies and bright sunshine. We experienced the humid and vibrant green of the island while visiting the Galapagos National Park and Charles Darwin Foundation, learning about the conservation efforts these two institutions have contributed over the years working together.
Later, we were welcomed by some of the farmers in the highlands, and in the afternoon, we immersed ourselves in the habitat of the Giant tortoises which are the emblematic animal of this enchanted island.
