Traveling to the Galapagos Islands to Live the #FlightieLife

I was invited by Flight Centre to spend a week in the Galapagos as an honorary flightie on a G Adventure tour. The Galapagos Islands are some of the most magical places on earth, where man and wildlife live together in harmony in a way I've never seen before. While in the Galapagos, I swam with wild sea lions, walked alongside the largest tortoises, made friends with marine iguanas and watched the daily lives of pelicans and crabs. If you love wildlife and are a nature person, the Galapagos NEEDS to be on your bucket list. You can check out the G Adventures Trip here:

The most beautiful city in Ecuador: Cuenca, Azuay Province
Cuenca (or Santa Ana de los Ríos de Cuenca) is the capital of Azuay Province and is Ecuador's 3rd largest city. Cuenca is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is known as the most European Ecuadorian city due to the abundance of Spanish colonial architecture. Cuenca is located in Ecuador's highlands at about 8,000 feet (2,500 meters) in elevation and is known for Panama hats (paja toquilla), the Barranco or Tomebamba River waterfront, and the abundance of colonial churches, including the Catedral Vieja (Old Cathedral) and the Catedral de la Inmaculada Concepción (Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception).
Some other nearby attractions that you will not want to miss include the Cajas National Park, the Girón Falls (el Chorro de Girón), the town of SigSig for Panama Hats, and the town of Chordeleg for handmade jewelry.

The Galapagos Islands are a small archipelago of islands belonging to Ecuador in the eastern Pacific Ocean. The islands are quite remote and isolated, lying some 1000 km (620 miles) west of the South American continent. The Galapagos archipelago consists of 13 main islands and 6 smaller isles, which together embrace some 50,000 sq km (19,500 sq miles) of ocean.
See in Galapagos Islands
===================
On each island, the number of visitors are limited and there are only a small number of official landing and visitor sites. You must follow the instructions of your guide to protect the wildlife and you are not allowed off the marked paths. This is not a problem as the animals are so tame they will sit right on the path or cross it without caring about mere tourists.
The Charles Darwin foundation administers several research stations throughout the islands, including a large station in Puerto Ayora that is worth visiting for its animal and natural history exhibits, the Galapagos Interpretation Center in Puerto Baquerizo Moreno and the Tortoise Breeding Center are the most interesting of the breeding centers in Puerto Villamil.

Bartolome Island
==============
A very small island teemed with great views and wildlife next to its neighbour San Salvador (James) island. The most photographed view of the islands is found here, the famous Pinnacle Rock and the distant islands. A wooden staircase allows us to gradually ascend to the top of this large cone, without adding physical damage (erosion) to the path itself. This small island offers plenty of rewarding activities.
Wildlife highlights: Being a young island, it only allows pioneer species to conquer and thrive here. Geology and scenery are fascinating. Pinnacle Rock is by all means the best photographic attraction.
Cruises in Galapagos Islands
=====================
Cruises are the only option to see the majority of remote islands.Galapagos Cruises on the Galapagos Islands Imagine Ecuador [29] The Galapagos Tours 36, other options for selecting a cruise in the Galapagos Islands from local operators are Galapagos Boutique Yachts 37, Galapagos by Voyagers Travel, amongst other specialized travel agents.
An important cruise review site to look at and find trip reports and comments refering to the different boats operating in the archipelago is: Galapagos Travel Advisor 39.
Although the Galapagos Islands are a beautiful once -in- a -lifetime experience no matter which boat you are on, remember that you'll still spend a considerable amount of your holiday on board. Here are the most common considerations when choosing a boat.
Do I take a Galapagos Large or Galapagos Small Boat?
Small Galapagos boats, as well as impressive cruise ships have both advantages and drawbacks.
Small Galapagos Yachts:
-------------------------------------------------
For those who prefer a more intimate experience onboard and on the islands, we recommend choosing a small yacht. The small yachts that we offer are typically handmade romantic sailboats or swift modern motor yachts that offer high quality personal service. All the confort and luxury on board you will find on the Galapagos Catamarans38
There is less impact on the fragile Galapagos environment. Another advantage to small yachts is the fact that often, large ships cannot anchor or disembark at some visitor sites due to their size or a high number of passengers.
Galapagos Cruise Ships: [Cruises]
===========================
For those that want the extra safety, social feel, amenities, stability, and spaciousness that cruise ships provide, larger ships may be the ideal way to visit the Galapagos. The Galapagos National Park sets a wise limit on ships to 100 passengers.
The cruise ships offer more spacious and often more comfortable standards in service and accommodations than you thought necessary, but will truly enhance your trip.
Charter a Galapagos Boat If you are group of students, a corporation, a club, on a honeymoon and want a private experience, or any group of people who wants to explore the Galapagos Islands on a chartered boat.

Fysieke kenmerken[bewerken]
Sinds 1999 is de vulkaan de Tungurahua weer actief. Regelmatig werpt hij rook en as tot 3 kilometer de lucht in.
De lengte van de landgrenzen is 2.010 kilometer (590 km met Colombia, 1420 km met Peru). De kustlijn meet 2.237 kilometer. De Chimborazo in de Andes is een 6.310 meter hoge (dode) vulkaan en is het hoogste punt van het land. Het land heeft een totale oppervlakte van 256.369 km². Daarvan bestaat 258.608 km² uit land en 24.953 km² uit water.
Het land wordt in vier zones verdeeld: de kust (Costa), de Andes (Sierra), het Amazonebekken (Oriente) en de Galapagoseilanden.
De kust bestaat uit vruchtbare grond die voor landbouw wordt gebruikt. Het gebied bevindt zich slechts enkele meters boven de zeespiegel en bijgevolg zijn de temperaturen er hoog (tot 40 °C). In dit gebied ligt de grootste stad van het land: Guayaquil. De grootste in de Grote Oceaan uitmondende rivier van Zuid-Amerika, de Guayas, heeft hier haar monding.
De Andes loopt door het midden van het land van noord naar zuid. In het hooggebergte liggen de hoofdstad Quito en de derde stad Cuenca, op een hoogte van 2.500 meter. Het klimaat is daar mild. In het gebergte liggen ook enkele vulkanen die een hoogte van 5.000 tot 6.000 meter bereiken. Een aantal daarvan is nog actief.
Het Amazoneregenwoud ligt in het oosten van het land. Het klimaat is er tropisch: warm en vochtig. De vele rivieren in dit gebied zijn allemaal vertakkingen van de Amazone.
De Galapagoseilanden worden als vierde zone van Ecuador beschouwd. Op deze eilanden hebben zich een unieke flora en fauna ontwikkeld.

Pueblos de la Costa Brava: Tamariu, Calella de Palafrugell, Palamos - Part 1
Here is some pictures from my trip in Costa Brava, visiting Tamariu, Calella de Palafrugell y Palamos.
EN:
Tamariu is one of three coastal towns belonging to the municipality of Palafrugell, province of Girona, Spain, the other two being Calella de Palafrugell and Llafranc. It is part of the Costa Brava, the coastal region of northeastern Catalonia, in the comarca of Baix Empordà. It is situated about 70 mi (110 km) south of the border with France in a quiet and secluded bay of the Costa Brava close to the nearby inland towns of Palafrugell and Begur. Its name comes from the presence of many tamarisk trees along the promenade.
Calella de Palafrugell is one of three coastal towns belonging to the municipality of Palafrugell, province of Girona, Spain, the other two being Llafranc and Tamariu. It is part of the Costa Brava, the coastal region of northeastern Catalonia, in the comarca of Baix Empordà. Calella de Palafrugell is a small holiday resort and fishing village near Palafrugell and a short distance along the coast from Llafranc. It should not be confused with the larger, more commercialised resort of Calella, which is further south towards Barcelona, in the comarca of Maresme.
Palamós is a town and municipality in the Mediterranean Costa Brava, located in the comarca of Baix Empordà, in the province of Girona, Catalonia, Spain.
