Santa Cruz Day 14

Today is our last full day in the Galapagos. Today we are headed to Playa Tortuga. This is supposed to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the Galapagos.
The beach is outside of town so you have to walk to get there. It is about a 45 minute walk.

A long the path

Galapagos Giant Cactus is the only cactus in the world that grows as a tree.

It's a long walk.

We continued along the shore were we walked into this incredible cactus forest. It was one of the most beautiful sights we had seen.

As we walked on a path along the rock wall, we see a Blur Footed Boobie

We headed to this protected cove for a dip. A great day at the beach, very hot. We are undecided if this beach is more beautiful than the one on Isla Isabela. We finished the day by having dinner with professor David from Wisconsin.
