The Galapagos Islands are amazing. Basically, everything you have ever heard of, that is cool and awesome...is absolutely true. You might be eye to eye with a Blue Footed Booby. You might get splashed in the face by a sea lion. You might find yourself having a conversation with a salt-spitting, crusty old marine iguana. And it is marvelous! How did it all come together? I did some research before I went, and found one of the reasons Galapagos is special is because of all the different currents that converge on the archipelago (fancy word for a group of islands). As I read, I pictured the currents as various colors, swirling and mixing as they clashed into each other. The result became a painting in acrylics and gold leaf.
As I flew into Baltra airport, I imagined what it was like to be an animal, riding in on a bit of driftwood all those years ago.
The islands are really only the top of undersea volcanos.
What would it have been like to arrive as they were formed?
We had a great experience- they were very helpful in trip planning and making sure we got to do all the activities and see the places we wanted. There were some things we couldn't do/see due to the time of year being the rainy/low season and they steered us away from those. We had never been to Costa Rica before and it gave us a good overview of this lovely country.
