I want you to know that we arrived safely back to the US. Thank you for all of your help with our changes due to the hurricane. We very much enjoyed Manuel Antonio and Arenal and are sorry that we missed Monteverde. Our guide, Homer, was terrific and we really enjoyed his knowledge and camaraderie.

Thank you so much for connecting us with EcoAmerica Tours. They truly know their way around the Galapagos Islands and Machu Picchu, and we were delighted with every aspect of our trip. The Galapagos portion exceeded our expectations, and we saw everything we had hoped to see. The small vessel made the excursions easy and enjoyable, while the accommodations, food, crew, and guide were all outstanding. Our time in Peru was equally memorable. Machu Picchu and the hike to Huayna Picchu were obvious highlights, but we also loved the cooking class in Cusco and the incredible hike to Humantay Lagoon. We were genuinely sad to leave after such a wonderful journey.

Discover the wonders of the Galapagos Islands aboard the M/C Treasure on this 7-Day Itinerary C, running from Saturday to Friday.
Explore Isabela, the largest and seahorse-shaped island in the Galapagos, and discover its remote western region, a landscape born from volcanic fire and shaped by evolution. Witness how pioneer species transformed barren lava fields into thriving ecosystems, and encounter unique wildlife such as marine iguanas and flightless cormorants.
Although reaching this isolated region requires longer navigation, primarily overnight, our stable mega-catamaran provides a comfortable journey to experience one of the most pristine areas of the Galapagos.
In summary, your Galapagos Cruise will take you on a journey visiting (*):

In Baltra
AM: Flight to Baltra Airport (GPS)
Upon arrival at Baltra Airport, you will pass through an inspection point to ensure that no foreign plants or animals are introduced to the islands. You will also pay the park entrance fee of 200 dollars, unless it has been prepaid. A guide will meet you, assist with your luggage, and accompany you on a short bus ride to the harbor.
PM: Fausto Llerena Breeding Centre: Santa Cruz
Your first excursion takes place on Santa Cruz Island. Disembark at the Fausto Llerena Breeding Center, where you can observe giant tortoises from different islands across the archipelago. These remarkable animals are part of a conservation program dedicated to repopulating areas where tortoise populations have declined due to human impact and invasive species.
AM: Eden Islet
El Eden is a picturesque tuff cone islet located just off the western coast of Santa Cruz Island, between Whale Bay and Dragon Hill. This morning, disembark at this aptly named island paradise, where you will encounter land iguanas and sea lions resting along the shoreline, while seabirds feed among the nearby mangrove forests.
The islet’s calm, crystal-clear waters provide the perfect setting for swimming and snorkeling, offering the chance to discover colorful tropical fish, rays, and even two species of sharks. Alternatively, explore the tranquil coastline by kayak for a memorable Galapagos adventure.
PM: Dragon Hill: Santa Cruz
The Dragon Hill visitor site has welcomed travelers since 1993 and is located on the northwestern coast of Santa Cruz Island. The trail leads through a dry forest landscape to a hypersaline lagoon behind the beach, where you may spot flamingos, pintail ducks, and other native bird species.
The area has also been part of a successful land iguana repopulation program, with iguanas introduced from Seymour, Isabela, and Santa Cruz Islands. A short walk to the top of Dragon Hill rewards visitors with beautiful panoramic views of the bay and surrounding landscape.
AM: Tintoreras Islet & Sierra Negra Volcano: Isabela
Just outside Puerto Villamil, a chain of lava islets rises from the ocean, formed by ancient volcanic activity where molten rock met the sea. At low tide, crystal-clear pools reveal whitetip reef sharks (“Tintoreras”), sea turtles, and eagle rays.
The islets are also home to some of the largest marine iguanas in the Galapagos, along with Sally Lightfoot crabs, lava herons, and Galapagos penguins. Continue to Sierra Negra Volcano, where its immense caldera and vast lava fields reveal the dramatic geological forces that shaped Isabela Island.
PM: Wetlands and Arnaldo Tupiza Breeding Center: Isabela
Visit Flamingo Lagoon, one of Isabela’s best sites for observing pink flamingos in their natural habitat. The shallow waters and surrounding wetlands provide ideal feeding grounds and excellent wildlife photography opportunities.
Continue to the Arnaldo Tupiza Tortoise Breeding Center, where you will discover giant Galapagos tortoises at different stages of life, from tiny hatchlings to impressive adults. Learn about the conservation programs protecting these endangered species through breeding, habitat restoration, and long-term preservation efforts.
AM: Moreno Point: Isabela
Located on the northern coast of Isabela Island between Sierra Negra and Cerro Azul volcanoes, Punta Moreno offers a fascinating landscape shaped by volcanic activity. The trail crosses a remarkable pahoehoe lava flow, named for its smooth, rippled surface resembling folds of an accordion, before reaching a series of coastal lagoons surrounded by mangroves.
These peaceful wetlands provide habitat for a variety of bird species, making Punta Moreno an excellent site for wildlife observation and photography.
PM: Tagus Cove: Isabela
A zodiac excursion along the cliffs offers excellent opportunities to observe Galapagos penguins, flightless cormorants, and other seabirds. From the landing dock, a 30-minute hike leads to the top of the cliffs, where you can enjoy views of Darwin Lake, an uplifted hypersaline lagoon with waters even saltier than the sea.
The viewpoint also offers impressive views of surrounding volcanoes. Along the cliffs of the cove, look closely for historic inscriptions left by pirates, whalers, and buccaneers who visited the Galapagos centuries ago.
AM: Espinoza Point: Fernandina
Fernandina, the third-largest island in the Galapagos archipelago, is home to a single visitor site: Punta Espinoza, located on the northeastern tip of the island. This pristine landscape is famous for its remarkable concentration of marine iguanas, which gather in large groups along the shore, bask on the lava rocks, swim in coastal waters, and often greet visitors at the landing dock.
Among the island’s most extraordinary species is the flightless cormorant, a bird that has evolved unique adaptations for life in the ocean. Over time, its wings, tail, and feet transformed to improve its swimming abilities and underwater hunting skills. Observing these remarkable creatures is like witnessing the process of evolution unfolding before your eyes.
PM: Vicente Roca Point: Isabela
While enjoying lunch, cross the Bolivar Channel for the final time en route to Vicente Roca Point, located at the mouth of Isabela’s seahorse-shaped coastline. Explore a dramatic sea cave beneath a spectacular arch, where the sound of crashing waves creates an unforgettable atmosphere.
Nearby, the collapsed amphitheater of Ecuador Volcano offers another breathtaking landscape. The calm, protected waters of the coves provide an excellent setting for snorkeling, where you may encounter sharks, Galapagos penguins, pufferfish, and even seahorses.
AM: Puerto Egas: Santiago Island
Located on the western coast of Santiago Island, Puerto Egas is known for its striking black sand beach, created by volcanic tuff formations and erosion over time. The area’s unique landscape and dramatic coastline make it one of the island’s most fascinating visitor sites.
The site takes its name from an unsuccessful salt mining venture led by Héctor Egas, which was abandoned when low salt prices on the mainland made the operation unviable. Today, the remains of the old infrastructure serve as a reminder of this brief chapter in the island’s history.
PM: Rabida Island
After a wet landing on Rabida’s remarkable red sand beach, explore this unique volcanic island on two short guided walks. The island’s distinctive color comes from iron oxide particles in the rocks and sand, creating a landscape unlike any other in the Galapagos.
A small lagoon surrounded by lush vegetation provides a refreshing contrast to the island’s arid terrain and attracts a variety of bird species, including pintail ducks and occasional flamingos. Among the palo santo forests and mangroves, you may spot songbirds and nesting colonies of brown pelicans, the only pelican species in the world known for diving to catch their prey.
AM: Las Bachas Beach: Santa Cruz
Located west of Black Turtle Cove on Santa Cruz Island, Las Bachas consists of two beautiful white-sand beaches formed from decomposed coral, creating a soft shoreline that is ideal for sea turtle nesting.
Behind one of the beaches, small lagoons attract flamingos and other shorebirds, including Galapagos gulls and stilts, which can occasionally be spotted feeding in the area. The wider beach offers the opportunity to explore the remains of two abandoned barges left behind by the United States during World War II, when Baltra Island served as a strategic base for the protection of the Panama Canal.
The name “Las Bachas” comes from the local pronunciation of the word “barges,” which was difficult for residents to pronounce and was eventually adapted into Spanish.
