Baltra Island Galapagos

The first Galapagos Island we set foot on was Island Baltra. Unlike in Antarctica, where you first impression is: gosh: what a smell (penguin droppings…), in Galapagos your are struck by the diversity of animals "just minding their own business".

What I will never forget and what sets the stage for your whole Galapagos vacation was the sea lion coming to greet us!

Sea lion’s welcome on Galapagos!

2 things are special on Galapagos:

  1. you are only allowed with very tiny groups on each and every island at one time, so it’s all but mass-tourism
  2. the animals just come to you in stead of you needing to wait hours in order to see a glimpse in the distance!

It’s just unforgettable!!!
