Puerto Ayora is one of the most exciting towns in the Galapagos, with the largest population of all the islands. It’s got more developed infrastructure than most parts of the Galapagos, making it a great place to explore with a little more on-foot time than some of the smaller islands. It’s known for the Charles Darwin Research Station and El Chato Reserve, each populated by giant Tortoises. It’s also the home of Tortuga Bay, a stunning beach where visitors can spot marine iguanas, white tip reef sharks and all sorts of spectacular birds.
