Today we landed in Puerto Ayora on Santa Cruz island. It is the home port of the Athala II and has a population of 25,000- the largest on the islands. Here we drove put to the highlands to the El Chato Reserve to see giant tortoises in the wild. Santa Cruz is also the site of the Charles Darwin Research Station.

| Matt liked the name of this boat from New Zealand... |

| At El Chato Reserve the tortoises were everywhere... in the mud, eating guavas, lazing in the water, hiding under bushes and walking through the grasses. |
