The Galápagos Cruise · Islands · Santa Fé
A turquoise bay with a sea lion colony in the shallows, an Opuntia forest whose trunks grow six metres tall, and a land iguana that is paler and larger than any other in the archipelago: Santa Fe is a single visitor site, and the iguana there lives nowhere else on earth. The bay is one of the calmest anchorages in the islands, which is why it appears on so many circuits. Forty-two of our itineraries call at Santa Fe across 13 ships, from $1,797 per person, on trips of 3 to 14 nights.
One site, one trail, and the iguana is not guaranteed: it is a dry-zone animal that stays in the shade when the sun is high. Morning landings see it more often than afternoon ones, and which you get is set by the itinerary, not by the ship.
