Arrival in Puerto Ayora

As we finished dinner on the boat, we arrived in the harbor of Puerto Ayora on the island of Santa Cruz, the largest town in the Galapagos. In total, more than 20,000 people live in the Galapagos Islands, but on less than 2% of the land mass. The other 98% is a national park and thus protected.

After dinner a few of us decided to go into the town to walk around, use the Internet, do some shopping, etc. There wasn't a lot to see at night, as we were not there that long and stayed on the main street of Puerto Ayora. As you might expect, restaurants, pubs, and gift shops mostly, catering to the tourists who come in everyday.
