Arrival at Baltra Airport, our National Park naturalist guide will meet you there.
Highlands
This visit can be done either from Baltra, or Puerto Ayora. A bus will bring you up to the mountains stopping at one of several reserves along the route to see the Galapagos giant tortoises. The Galapagos is the perfect place to view these gentle giants. They can reach over 300kg / 600lbs! They are seen grazing in the freshwater ponds and taking a rest. The area is home to a wide variety of bird species, which are not found in the lowlands. These include finches, flycatchers, and waterbirds. Visit a lava tube (depending on your itinerary) to learn about the volcanic eruptions that created these amazing formations.
