Galápagos
Santa Cruz
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where volcanic rock meets turquoise waters, Santa Cruz Island is a lively and welcoming heart of the Galápagos. The island’s main town, Puerto Ayora, is full of colorful fishing boats, small cafés, street food vendors, and the everyday rhythm of island life. Yet just a short ride away, the landscape shifts—lush highlands, slow-moving giant tortoises, and quiet farming communities remind you how deeply nature shapes everything here. Santa Cruz is where both locals and visitors come together, not only to enjoy the beauty of the islands but to care for them in meaningful ways.
The Galápagos are famous for their wildlife, but life here is about more than animals. It’s about people finding creative ways to live in balance with their environment. On Santa Cruz, that means learning how to grow food without harming fragile ecosystems, reviving local traditions, and finding small but powerful ways to build a more sustainable future. Our work on the island is grounded in this spirit—rooted in community, guided by respect for the land, and focused on real, hands-on efforts that support long-term well-being for both people and nature.
