Santa Fe Island
On our second day we visited Santa Fe Island.
These Ridley Sea Turtles were the first animals we encountered.
These sea iguanas greeted us on the beach.

The landscape of the islands is not what I´d call beautiful. But, the truly amazing thing about the islands is that the animals are very approachable. Many of the animals, including the birds, would allow me to get within 2 yards.

The Galapagos Islands are the most incredible living museum of evolutionary changes, with a huge variety of endemic species (birds, land and sea animals, plants) and landscapes not seen anywhere else.
