The places i&#8217;ll talk about are my personal favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_1\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">1. Tijeretas (San Cristobal)<\/span><\/strong>, <strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">one of the best places to visit in Galapagos<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/que-ver-en-galapagos-2_opt.jpg\" alt=\"places to visit in Galapagos\" class=\"wp-image-24258\" title=\"Places to visit in Galapagos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/que-ver-en-galapagos-2_opt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/que-ver-en-galapagos-2_opt-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/que-ver-en-galapagos-2_opt-768x886.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Swimming with sea lions<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tijeretas<\/strong> is a small mountain roughly 2 kilometers away from <strong>Puerto Baquerizo Moreno<\/strong> in <strong>San Cristobal island<\/strong>. There are several view points with incredible views However, the best spot in this beautiful part of the island is the dock where you&#8217;ll be able to swim and snorkel in a beautiful bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In Tijeretas you can <strong>swim with sea lions<\/strong>, which will quickly become one of your favorite moments in Galapagos. It&#8217;s important to be a bit cautious with adult males Especially when they are out of the water as they sometimes can have a bit of a temper. Apart from swimming with sea lions, you can also see sea turtles and a many fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In order to get to Tijeretas, you first have to go to the <strong>Interpretation Center<\/strong>, where you&#8217;ll be asked to register yourself. Admission is free. Once you&#8217;ve registered, you must continue the walk along a wooden pathway surrounded by trees. It is quite nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">I recommend that you take advantage of the whole afternoon and head to <strong>Punta Carola Beach<\/strong> for sunset. Once the sun sets, you can return to town along a sandy path that will lead you back to town, it is not necessary to head back to Tijeretas to return to town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">It is difficult to choose a favorite place to visit in Galapagos. If I was forced to choose, I\u2019ll have to stick with <strong>Tijeretas<\/strong>. Why is this place so special to me? I blame sea lions, I really enjoyed swimming with them in Tijeretas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_2\">2. <strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Tortuga Bay (Santa Cruz), best beach in Galapagos<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/viaje-galapagos_opt.jpg\" alt=\"trip to galapagos\" class=\"wp-image-24236\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/viaje-galapagos_opt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/viaje-galapagos_opt-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/viaje-galapagos_opt-768x886.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Tortuga Bay, Santa Cruz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In my humble opinion, <strong>Tortuga Bay<\/strong> is the most beautiful place to visit in <strong>Santa Cruz<\/strong> and one of the <strong>best beaches in Galapagos<\/strong>. Spending part of the day at this beach is a great thing to do in Galapagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s located 3 kilometers away from <strong>Puerto Ayora<\/strong>. In order to visit this pristine beach, you\u2019ll have to walk on a paved road which is located right at the end of Charles Binford road. The path to the beach is flat for the most part. It\u2019l take about 35 minutes to get to the beach. Right at the beginning of the path there\u2019s a booth where you must register. Admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">If walking isn\u2019t something you\u2019re looking forward to, you can <strong>take a boat from Puerto Ayora<\/strong> to Tortuga Bay. The boat ride will set you back $10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Tortuga Bay is divided into 2 beaches: <strong>Brava Beach<\/strong> and <strong>Mansa Beach<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve walked for 35 minutes on the path, you\u2019ll be greeted by Brava Beach which is an incredible white-sand beach. In order to visit Mansa Beach, you must walk the full length of Brava Beach and then head to the right. It\u2019l take approximately 10-15 minutes to get to Mansa Beach from the beginning of Brava Beach In Brava beach you can experience rough waves and currents; hence the name. Mansa Beach is much more peaceful and perfect for bathing and relaxing. Kayaks are also available for renting in Mansa Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Although Mansa Beach is more suitable for swimming, my advice is that you stay at the <strong>end of Brava Beach<\/strong>. The currents aren\u2019t very strong in this part of the beach which is suitable for swimming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">I like this part of the beach because the water is very clear. If you visit the beach during low tide, which is in the afternoon, small pools form and <strong>baby sharks<\/strong> get trapped. You can swim with baby sharks and <strong>marine iguanas<\/strong> in Brava Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Schedule: 6:00AM &#8211; 5:00PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_3\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">3. Concha y Perla (Isabela)<\/span><\/strong>, one of the best snorkeling spots in Galapagos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/que-hacer-en-galapagos_opt.jpg\" alt=\"what to do in galapagos\" class=\"wp-image-24260\" title=\"what to do in galapagos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/que-hacer-en-galapagos_opt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/que-hacer-en-galapagos_opt-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/que-hacer-en-galapagos_opt-768x886.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Concha Perla, Isabela<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Snorkeling in <strong>Concha Perla<\/strong> <strong>(Isabela)<\/strong> quickly became one of my favorite activities in Galapagos. During our 10-day stay in Isabela, we went snorkeling at this incredible place almost every day. It is impossible to get tired of Concha y Perla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">When you arrive, you will find a small dock built in a large natural pool surrounded by islets and rocks. There are very few currents in Concha y Perla. It is only a <strong>10-15 minute walk from the center of Puerto Villamil<\/strong>. Admission is free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">My advice is that you visit Concha y Perla in the morning when there is <strong>low tide<\/strong>. If you visit Conca y Perla during the morning, you will avoid large crowds and swim during low tide which is ideal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">You will be able to see many marine animals: <strong>turtles<\/strong>, <strong>eagle rays<\/strong>, many <strong>fish<\/strong>, <strong>starfish<\/strong>, some <strong>sea lions<\/strong> and, if you are lucky, even <strong>penguins<\/strong>! Galapagos is the only place in the Northern Hemisphere where there are penguins and yes, they do live in Isabela. On the path to the dock you&#8217;ll also run into many <strong>marine iguanas<\/strong> sun bathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">If you do not have <strong>snorkeling equipment<\/strong>, you can rent it at any tour agency in town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_4\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">4. Puerto Chino Beach (San Cristobal)<\/span><\/strong>, a perfect beach for a swim<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/puerto-chino-galapagos_opt.jpg\" alt=\"puerto chino galapagos\" class=\"wp-image-35477\" style=\"width:1120px\" title=\"puerto chino galapagos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/puerto-chino-galapagos_opt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/puerto-chino-galapagos_opt-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/puerto-chino-galapagos_opt-768x528.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">What to see in Galapagos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Puerto Chino Beach<\/strong> is one of the<strong>most beautiful beaches in San Cristobal<\/strong>. It\u2019s a white-sand beach with turquoise water Apart from being a great beach for snorkeling, theres is also an incredible viewpoint where you can enjoy an incredible view of the beach and sea. The path to the viewpoint is locsated on the right side of the beach. You must climb over some rocks in order to access the viewpoint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately for us, we visited Puerto Chino Beach on a very cloudy day. We still enjoyed our visit but I can only imagine how Puerto Chino Beach is on a bright sunny day. Not sure if it&#8217;s like this every day but you can experience moderate waves at Puerto Chino Beach. The waves made swimming in Puerto Chino Beach extremely fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Puerto Chino is located 25 kilometers away from <strong>Puerto Baquerizo Moreno<\/strong>. That being said, you must take a taxi, book a tour or pedal a lot to visit Puerto Chino Beach. The taxi costs $30 round trip to Puerto Chino Beach. It is quite expensive but there\u2019s no way around it\u2026it\u2019s Galapagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The bike ride is approximately 3 1\/2 hours each way. There are sections with steep slopes Bike rental in San Crist\u00f3bal costs around $15 per person. You won&#8217;t save much by opting for this option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The last option is to book a guided tour. You can also book a tour which costs $30 per person. The tour also includes a visit to<strong>El Progreso<\/strong>, <strong>Laguna El Junco<\/strong> and the <strong>Galapaguera de Cerro Colorado<\/strong> (where you can see giant tortoises)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_5\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">5. Trip to The Tunnels (Isabela)<\/span><\/strong>, one of the best things to do in Galapagos<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/islas-galapagos-ecuador_opt.jpg\" alt=\"things to do in galapagos\" class=\"wp-image-24240\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/islas-galapagos-ecuador_opt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/islas-galapagos-ecuador_opt-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/islas-galapagos-ecuador_opt-768x886.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The Tunnels, Isabela<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The tunnels<\/strong> are located in <strong>Isabela<\/strong>. They are a bit far from Puerto Villamil and the only way to visit the tunnels is by booking a <strong>day tour<\/strong>. The tunnels offer a very unique scenery above the surface and underwater. Get ready to swim through <strong>underwater tunnels<\/strong> and enter <strong>caves full of black-tip sharks<\/strong>. You have nothing to worry about; the sharks are very shy and won\u2019t do anything!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The day trips are usually 6 hours long. We booked our day tour with an agency called Rosedelco. The 6 hour tour will set you back $90. We visited Isabela during the pandemic and we were able to negotiate the price down to $75.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">During the tour, we went <strong>snorkeling<\/strong> on two separate occasions. During the first snorkeling session we were able to see <strong>penguins<\/strong>, <strong>giant marine turtles<\/strong>(much larger than I expected), <strong>black-tip sharks<\/strong>, <strong>rays<\/strong>and <strong>sea horses<\/strong>. During the second snorkeling session we swam through underwater tunnels. The tunnels are very beautiful and unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In the latter part of the tour, we went for walk and got the chance to see some amazing volcanic formations as well as some land animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">On the way back, we saw some huge <strong>manta rays<\/strong> from the boat. It was an incredible moment. It was my first time seeing manta rays and I was mesmerized. The crew told us to jump if we wanted to but I coward out. No one jumped. I wasn\u2019t really comfortable getting in the water in the open ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_6\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">6. Las Grietas (Santa Cruz) &#8211; Galapagos, Ecuador<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/las-grietas-galapagos_opt.jpg\" alt=\"las grietas galapagos\" class=\"wp-image-24264\" title=\"las grietas galapagos\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/las-grietas-galapagos_opt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/las-grietas-galapagos_opt-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/las-grietas-galapagos_opt-768x886.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Las Grietas, Galapagos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Las Grietas<\/strong> is located in <strong>Santa Cruz<\/strong> and it\u2019s one of the most beautiful places to visit in Galapagos. It\u2019s a volcanic formation that is shaped like a canyon. Both fresh and salt water feed this beautiful canyon. The water is about 10 meters deep and it\u2019s very clear. It\u2019s a very popular place for both locals and tourists, not only because it&#8217;s a beautiful place, but because Las Grietas is an ideal place to swim and snorkel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Las Grietas<\/strong> is not accessible by land, you must take a taxi-boat from Puerto Ayora. The boat is inexpensive. It costs $1.50 roundtrip. Once you get off the boat, you must walk for about 10 minutes to get to Las Grietas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Here goes the bad news\u2026 admission was once free. There was also no limit as to the amount of time you could spend in Las Grietas. That has all changed. There is now a $10 entrance fee which includes a guide (a bit overpriced in my opinion). The worst part is that now you can only spend 45 minutes in Las Grietas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Another great option is to visit Las Grietas on a tour, La Bahia tour. If you decide to book \u201cTour de la Bahia\u201d, you\u2019ll visit \u201cLa Loberia\u201d, which is a sea lion breeding place, and Las Grietas. If you visit Las Grietas with the tour, you won\u2019t have to pay an admission fee. Taking the tour is a great option if your looking to knock a couple of birds with one stone. \u201cTour de la Bahia\u201d is a 4-hour tour that costs $25 per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_7\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">7.

Pinzon is one of the best places to snorkel from <strong>Santa Cruz<\/strong>, which is one of the best things to do in Galapagos. We did this snorkeling tour with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.es\/Attraction_Review-g297533-d7694693-Reviews-Guiding_Galapagos_Expeditions-Puerto_Ayora_Santa_Cruz_Galapagos_Islands.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Guiding Galapagos Expeditions<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, a company that I highly recommend. Everything about this company was perfect: the boat, the equipment, the staff, the food&#8230; We were able to see many animals such as sharks, sea turtles, sea lions, starfish, lots of fish, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Whether your snorkel in Pinz\u00f3n Island, Santa Fe, or anywhere else, <strong>snorkeling in Galapagos<\/strong> is always an incredible experience because there is so much marine life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_8\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">8.

It is located off the coast of San Crist\u00f3bal Island. These rock formations that protrude from the water are one of the best spots for snorkeling and diving in all of Galapagos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Out of all the incredible marine animals that you can see here, possibly the most fascinating one is the hammerhead shark. We were able to see 4 hammerhead sharks but apparently you can see large schools of hammerhead sharks in Leon Dormido.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">We visited Leon Dormido on a day tour (the 360 degree \u200b\u200btour). This tour is rated as the best tour in San Cristobal. We did the tour with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.es\/Attraction_Review-g297530-d8122164-Reviews-Galapagos_Eco_Fishing-San_Cristobal_Galapagos_Islands.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Galapagos Eco Fishing<\/strong><\/span><\/a>. This company offers a comfortable and beautiful boat, delicious food and great hospitality. I highly recommend this agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The tour takes you on a circumnavigation of the entire island in addition to Leon Dormido. After visiting Leon Dormido (Kicker Rock) and going snorkeling, you later visit other beaches and snorkeling spots. The tour costs $150.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_9\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">9.

It is a tour that is a bit pricey as well. Although I was not able to visit Bartolome Island, the tour will still make this list based on reputation. The island is on of the newest in the archipelago and it\u2019s named after James Sulivan Bartholmew who was a friend of Charles Darwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">The tour includes a walk through Bartolome Island and snorkeling. The boat leaves from the pier in Santa Cruz and, as I mentioned before, the tour is one the most expensive tours and will set you back $200. During the Island tour, you\u2019ll hike up to a viewpoint where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the island which is one of the most popular landscapes in Ecuador.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"First_Sub_Point_10\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">10.

One of those reason is because I went <strong>diving for the first time<\/strong> in Galapagos. Honestly, I was a bit fearful as I\u2019ve always had tons of respect for the ocean. I thought I would get very nervous being at the bottom of the ocean. I was bit nervous at first but I was later able to relax and enjoy and incredible experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">I went diving with <a href=\"https:\/\/academybaydiving.com\/es\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Academy Bay Diving<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, in Santa Cruz. The diving instructor was very patient and helpful which gave me peace of mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">They took us to <strong>Seymour North<\/strong> and <strong>Mosquera<\/strong> which are places with very little current, suitable for beginners. We were able to see many animals: sharks, starfish, rays, schools of fish, etc. Diving is pretty much a must in Galapagos. It is one if the best places to go diving in the world. It will blow your mind!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Second_Point_Header\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Where to stay in Galapagos<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"923\" src=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/donde-alojarse-en-galapagos_opt.jpg\" alt=\"Where to stay in Galapagos\" class=\"wp-image-24235\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/donde-alojarse-en-galapagos_opt.jpg 800w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/donde-alojarse-en-galapagos_opt-260x300.jpg 260w, https:\/\/comeamaviaja.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/donde-alojarse-en-galapagos_opt-768x886.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Our hotel in Santa Cruz<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">\u21a0 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/searchresults.en.html?region=722&amp;aid=2221540&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2&amp;label=placesvisitgalapagos\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Search for hotels in Galapagos<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">We had quite a bit of time to visit Galapagos therefore, we decided to visit the three main islands: San Crist\u00f3bal, Isabela and Santa Cruz.

This beautiful archipelago is located in the Pacific Ocean, 1000 km from mainland Ecuador. This pristine group of islands have&nbsp; so many incredible places to visit and countless amount of activities. I am aware that most people visiting Galapagos are not going to stay for more than a few weeks therefore, I\u2019ve only listed the <strong> 10 most incredible things to do in Galapagos<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Most of the places that you&#8217;ll read about in this article are located in Santa Cruz, Isabela and San Cristobal which are the three main islands that you can visit by taking a ferry. Most of these places are free to visit; however, visiting other island and activities such as snorkeling and diving do require that you book a tour. Tours in Galapagos are not cheap therefore, your budget is a determining factor whether you&#8217;re able to do some tours or not.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Whether you visit Galapagos for a long period of time or a short one, or if you&#8217;re able to visit all the places on this list or not, I am certain that Galapagos will be one of the best trips you&#8217;re ever done in your life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":35483,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[329],"tags":[341],"class_list":["post-34886","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ecuador","tag-galapagos-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The 10 Best Places To Visit In Galapagos, Ecuador<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Are you traveling to Galapagos soon and want to know what not to miss?
