Ecuador Trip Part 2: Santa Cruz Island

The next day, my group and I flew from Quito to Baltra Island in the Galapagos. From there we took a bus then a ferry and then another bus to our hotel in the town of Peurto Ayora on Santa Cruz Island. After a quick stop at the hotel, we walked to the Charles Darwin Research Station. It was an amazing tour. I got to see lava lizards, marine iguanas, birds, land iguanas, giant tortoises, and even Lonesome George!
