Galapagos Islands

3 week stay on a study abroad trip from TN. The staff is amazing, we ended up getting a cake for one of their birthdays.. and celebrating with them. Food is good, pool was really nice and the owner's son helped us translate. Definitely would come back

Don't go. This was uninhabited when Darwin was here, now you have ' civilization '. Sewers, cars, hotels, roads. I'm sure the wildlife can do without all of that and they will be better off being left alone. Go decimate some other Eden.

An interesting place. Pricey

Definitely a place out of this world. Really expensive because of the huge entrance fee (100$), you can find your way if you travel as a backpacker. Fauna is just amazing... But you have to go for diving because the Galapagos is also and mostly famous for its marine animals... Yes it is really expensive (160$ for two dives), but the density of marine animals is just insane. Where to go? Santa Cruz : Las grietas, Charles Darwin centre, El chato, dive at Gordon rocks (advanced), Tortuga Bay Isabela : perla de la Concha (swim with sea lions), Los tuneles (day tour : 100$, but definitely worth it), Las tintoreras, Playa del amor, crianza center, and a trip to one of the volcanos (tour around 40$) Hope it helps

Super
