CHARLES DARWIN RESEARCH STATION

Charles Darwin Research Station - Santa Cruz Island

In the central highlands of Santa Cruz Island, we have our best opportunity to interact at close quarters with totally wild, Galapagos giant tortoises. A short walk among these huge, 600lb, reptiles will also offer the chance for more highland species, especially several species of the famed finches.
