Marion Grzanowski recently traveled to the Galápagos Islands and Machu Picchu with Road Scholar.  A day by day account of his travels can be found at 2012-gimp-adventure.blogspot.com

Read days 4 & 5 here.

Day 6:

At Santa Fe Island, day six involves cacti, sharks and iguanas.  The morning proves to certainly be an adventurous one.

The afternoon itinerary includes Plaza Sur Island.  There are more cacti and iguanas to be observed.  Plaza Sur is also a bird watcher's paradise, as it has many types of birds like the Red-billed Tropicbirds and the frigate birds. 

Even the iguanas were not afraid of us walking near.

Day 7:

This morning Marion and the group visit the Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island.  They learn about the station's conservation efforts and get to observe giant tortoises at many different ages and sizes.

 The group ventures into the drastically different vegetation zone of the highlands of Santa Cruz in the afternoon.  Nestled in the Scalesia forest are the twin pit craters, which are large sinkholes.  Amidst the craters are beautiful views from the surrounding forest.
