Galapagos hail from Puerto Ayora. |

Also home to the National Park Services and
the Darwin Research Station, it is the hub of tourism
in the islands. The bay is full of sailboats,
sea birds
fill the air and
marine iguanas line the shore. Though a
thriving center of commerce people enjoy a laid back island
attitude. Most travelers to the Galapagos will include a visit
to Puerto Ayora during their trip. |

The cruises include a visit
to the Darwin Station and arrange free time to explore the
town and shop for souvenirs.
Puerto Ayora offers options for
visitors who prefer to sleep ashore or extend their stay in
the islands. |
