| During the night, Reina Silvia reaches Academy Bay, the port of the village of Puerto Ayora. Here we pay a visit to the Charles Darwin Research Station, where we have the opportunity to observe different species of giant tortoises and receive explanations about the Station's breeding and rearing programs. From the Darwin Station a road leads us through the village, past several souvenir shops and
restaurants.
After lunch a bus will take us to the highlands of Santa Cruz. The short ride will show us the remarkable change in vegetation from the dry coastal areas to the lush greenery of the humid zone."
