We got into Baltra airport and crossed over the canal to Santa Cruz island in a little ferry. From there it was a long drive into the town of Puerto Ayora, plenty of time to just check out the landscape. I have been on many islands, but this was like nothing I have ever seen. Capt. George Vancouver who visited the islands in 1795 described them as the most dreary barren and desolate country he ever beheld. There really aren't many tall things away from the high areas of the island, but it has its own beauty. Here are a couple of wide angle pictures from the GoPro cameras.
Towards the town of Puerto Ayora, there is more plant growth in general. And the dock area has a great intertidal zone!
