WILDLIFE OBSERVATION
Some of the most unusual and fascinating species in the world, both terrestrial and marine, are found in the Galapagos Islands. Here most of the surface (96%) is a National Park, surrounded by a protected Marine Reserve, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites.  On Santa Cruz Island, the giant tortoises can be seen at the Charles Darwin Research Station (including famous Lonesome George, the only remaining tortoise from Pinta Island) and also in the wild, in the Highlands of this island.

BIRD WATCHING

A total of 140 species of birds have been registered in Galapagos. About half of the resident birds cannot be seen anywhere else in the world.   The hotel’s natural surroundings provide an excellent setting for bird watching. On its premises you can observe shore and lagoon birds such as   ducks, stilts, herons, warblers, pelicans and frigates all easily approachable, just like all the Galapagos’ wildlife.   Eight species of Darwin’s Finches are found on Santa Cruz Island; most of which can be observed in the Hotel’s gardens and surroundings. Charles Darwin found enough evidence to support his theory of evolution by studying the different beaks of these finches.
