PRIVATE, CHARTERED FLIGHT TO BALTRA, GALAPAGOS, FROM QUITO, WHERE YOUR CRUISE ADVENTURE BEGINS!

 

 

QUITO - The capital and second-largest city in Ecuador, Quito sits high in the Andes with an elevation of 9,300 ft/2,835 m. Not so long ago, Quito had a rough reputation as a deteriorating city with crime problems, but a concerted effort to revitalize the city, restore historical buildings, clean up the bus system and make the city more tourist-friendly has paid off, and Quito is well worth the trip. Because of its elevation, Quito has a pleasant, moderate climate despite being just south of the equator.

The first thing you will notice about Quito is the mountains that surround the city, including the active volcano Mount Pichincha to the west of the city.

The next thing you will notice is the air pollution, which is held in place by those mountains (Quito occupies a long, narrow valley). Quito is Ecuador's principal transportation hub, and although efforts are being made to improve air quality, it remains bad. If you just dive into the haze, however, you'll find sights that make it all worthwhile.

 

ISLA BALTRA - Today Baltra is the most important airport of Galápagos and a small navy base for Ecuador. Baltra has suffered most from human settling and does not have any visitor sites. Many cruises start from the its harbour and already there pelicans and noddies will welcome you. To the north lies Mosquera, a small sandy bank with a large colony of sea lions. You can go swimming and snorkeling from the beach.

 

ISLA SANTIAGO (PUERTO EGAS) - Santiago's Puerto Egas is the perfect place to explore dark, sandy beaches and spot birds and marine iguanas.

 

ELIZABETH BAY - This side of Isla Isabella is a paradise for sea turtles. Endemic Flightless Cormorants and the marvelous Galapagos Penguins are in their prime habitat here. Nowhere else in the world do they find themselves more at home.

 

LAS BACHAS - Santa Cruz is the center of tourism in the Galapagos. The white-sand beach of Las Bachas on Isla Santa Cruz is a major egg-laying site for Pacific green turtles, but pelicans and flamingos feel at home here, too. Puerto Ayora, the largest settlement in the Galapagos, is homeport to many yachts, as well as home to Galapagos National Park Service and Charles Darwin Research Station. A large island with a variety of geology, wildlife and vegetation, all the Galapagos life zones are present on Santa Cruz.

 

NORTH SEYMOUR - Located off the northern tip of Baltra, this island is home to the largest colony of frigate birds in the Galapagos, as well as blue-footed boobies and playful sea lions.
