Santa Cruz Charles Darwin Research Station

The next day, Monday, we took a boat back to Santa Cruz and had a few hours before the next boat left for Isabella Island. We walked along the malicon (the harbor road) and out of town to the Santa Cruz Charles Darwin Research Station. Lonesome George, the last of one of a tortoise species lives here in a large enclosure. There are other tortoise species in walk-in enclosures near the education center.
The park area had some of the largest cacti I had seen so far.

  1. The tortoise face, for some reason, is very familiar.
