Baltra
Baltra Most visitors to the Galápagos archipelago arrive by way of
the airport on Baltra, which originally served as a United States Navy
base. There are no visitor sites or accommodations on Baltra, and the
only facilities available here relate to air traffic and transportation.
From the airport, visitors can catch an airline-sponsored bus either to
the channel—where a ferry takes passengers across the thin stretch of
water to Santa Cruz —or to the port—where passengers with pre-arranged
tours meet their boat.
The wildlife you will see on your Galapagos tour are completely
unaffected by Galapagos travel visitors . For this reason, there is a
restricted number of visitors permitted into the Galapagos each year, as
part of a joint effort to protect the delicate environmental and ecological
equilibrium. The most sensible method of Galapagos travel is via our cruise
ships. The M/V Galapagos Legend provides 3 night, 4 night and 7 night
cruises to select from, which can also be easily merged with Galapagos
travel visits to neighboring South American locations
