Travel Galapagos Islands & Ecuador

Puerto Ayora

This town, the largest in terms of population

and size in the Galápagos, is a surprise

to most visitors, who don’t expect to find

anything but plants and animals in the

islands. Puerto Ayora looks and feels like

a fairly prosperous mainland Ecuadorian

coastal town, that is if it weren’t for the

sea lion, iguana and albatross or two that

lounge around the waterfront. Most of the

hotels, restaurants and tourist facilities line

Avenida Charles Darwin and the airport is

on Isla Baltra, around an hour away to the

north (see p368 ).
