In his latest blog post, Dale Dunlop, The Maritime Explorer, has set his sights on finding another famous inhabitant of the Galapagos the Tortoises of Isabela. If you are interested in what Adventures Abroad has to offer, please check out our Small Group Tours to Ecuador.
This is the fourth post from the Galapagos Islands on this Ecuadorian odyssey with Adventures Abroad. In the first three, we encountered many of the most famous species for which this unique archipelago is renowned such as Darwin finches, Galapagos penguins and sea lions and of course the one-of-a-kind marine iguanas. However, we have yet to see any of the giant tortoises for which the islands are equally famous. In this post, we'll remedy that as we visit a tortoise breeding centre on Isabela where we will see species from all the different islands. With luck, we might also spot tortoises in the wild as well as follow the trail to a lava tunnel and a freshwater spring.

In his latest blog post, Dale Dunlop, The Maritime Explorer, ends his tour where it would be the beginning for most travellers, Santa Cruz - Gateway to the Galapagos. If you are interested in what Adventures Abroad has to offer, please check out our Small Group Tours to Ecuador.
You might wonder at the title of this post as our Adventures Abroad group is only heading to the island of Santa Cruz at the end of our stay in this wondrous archipelago. However, for the vast majority of visitors to the Galapagos, the airport on nearby Baltra Island is the most likely landing spot and after a short ferry ride to Santa Cruz, their adventure begins. So it is the gateway island, just not for us. We will be making our way there by boat after spending three terrific days on Isabela. So hop aboard and we'll find out why Santa Cruz is quite different from the other islands on the Galapagos.

This is my final post from a June 2022 tour of Switzerland with Adventures Abroad led by our good friend and tour leader Victor Romagnoli. Although over nine months have passed since Alison and I took this trip with Victor, I can remember each day of it as if it was last week, the trip was that remarkable. It included a perfect combination of alpine hiking, amazing train rides and city walking tours. In the last post, I featured a great day on Mount Rigi which we arrived at by boat from Lucerne followed by a funicular ride up to the top. In this post, we'll visit the Swiss capital city of Bern and spend the day exploring it on foot. Please come along with us.

Here we hope to see some of the species that can only be found in the Galapagos including its unique penguins, flamingos and giant tortoises.
