DAY 1
AM: Arrival Baltra Airport
You will arrive at Baltra Island in the morning. After passing through immigration and baggage claim you will be met by the yacht staff and transferred to the yacht.
You will be shown to your cabin where you will have some time to settle in before lunch and a welcome briefing.
PM: Twin Craters & Santa Cruz Highlands
Los Gemelos, or the Twin Craters, are located opposite each other on both sides of the road leading from Puerto Ayora to Baltra. The name is only figurative; not real craters, these formations were created by the collapse of surface material in underground fissures and chambers.
The view at this site is breathtaking.
Reached by bus from Puerto Ayora, the highlands of Santa Cruz are a deep green contrasting beautifully with much of the dry, lower islands. The dominant vegetation in the highlands is the forest of Scalesia trees creating the lush green color. The lava tubes, over half a mile long, are underground and walking through them is a unique, surreal experience.
