It is a place with a lot of tradition, something like Paracas, but bigger and more careful, with a lot of vegetation and farms in the upper part, very crowded by national and foreign tourists, it has more than 16 islands of different kilometers, the locals are very respectful and honored with tourists, you can walk even at dawn without any fear, there are accommodations from $ 25 to hotels from $ 350 to $ 400 a night on Santa Cruz Island - Puerto Ayora. There are menus from $ 8 and in the street the kiosks serve from 6 pm. They sell delicious Pizzas, paellas, fresh local fish and Lobsters of all sizes and the Price from $ 17 to $ 60 depends on that. There are different boats to go to the different islands where you can see sea lions, turtles, a diversity of colored fish and celestial-legged birds, iguanas of different colors depending on the island, there is the Darwin Museum where they exhibit all the fauna and flora of the place, and there the oldest and most famous turtle El Solitario George is exhibited, which is found in a special cold chamber with moons so that it can be seen. The waters of the sea vary between blue and transparent turquoise, colder from August to December, winter season, where you can see more biodiversity on the pier, such as birds, sea lions, and small sharks x the nights when it is time they hunt small fish. There are many agencies that offer Island to Island circuits on the streets of the center.
