Galapagos - Isla Santa Cruz 🐢

Being so close, knowing the already steep entrance fee is going to double this August and realizing the amount of tourists in Ecuador is lower than usual due to the current crisis, made the Galapagos irresistible. And we're so glad we decided to come here! It's crazy beautiful and wildlife is everywhere. You literally have to be careful you don't step on a iguana or a seal doesn't steal your seat. 🦎 🦭

Unfortunately, it's also super expensive so we have to be a bit creative. Instead of joining a boat tour to Tortuga Bay, we hiked and spotted baby hammerhead sharks 🦈 upon arrival. Instead of taking $50 taxis, we hitchhiked to see the giant tortoises 🐢 in the Highlands and mountainbiked to Cerro Mesa & Playa Garrapatero (biking while spotting tortoises & enjoying beautiful views, so no complaints!). And instead of eating $50 pizzas, we made delicious dinners in the kitchen of our hostel!Baca lagi
