Wander along a path through a cactus forest, revealing the island's vibrant combination of dry and coastal vegetation. Marvel at the incredible birdlife, with red-billed tropic birds and indigenous swallow-tailed gulls gracefully resting on the cliffs, while sea lions play in the azure waters. Santa Fe Island offers a unique wildlife-watching experience.

Witness the incredible Galápagos tortoise up close, and learn about the commendable conservation efforts that have brought this majestic creature back from the brink of extinction. The center is also home to the renowned Charles Darwin Research Station, a scientific organization that has been tirelessly

working since 1964 to preserve the Galápagos' unique ecosystem. While the offices are not open to visitors, the research station serves as a study location for international scientists and an educational hub for the local community.
