On The Road -- Quito to Isla Isabela Galapagos

* this entry from 5/19 *
On The Road -- Quito to Isla Isabela Galapagos


The flight attendant walks by, a yellow can in hand. She sprays the corridor with disinfectant, sprays the inside of bins; this action a part of the quarantine program to prevent the introduction of invasive species to the Galapagos National Park.

Upon landing -- volcanic landscape and "cactus trees"; Tortuga Bay and Los Gemelos...


Tortuga Bay (Isla Santa Cruz)

Los Gemelos -- two enormous volcanic depressions, about 200 meters in depth.

A ferry boat, a bus, a motor boat over stomach jolting oceanic currents...

and

Welcome to Isla Isabela
