The Galapagos Islands are a microcosm of our universe and a model for sustainability, conservation, ecology and our future. I am a third generation Galapagos Island native, tour guide certified by the Galapagos National Park Service, owner of an eco-friendly ecotourist destination hotel on San Cristobal Island, ecologist and environmentalist, professional photographer and, above all else, lover and advocate of the Galapagos Islands. I want to share this love with you in stories about our natural history, endemic flora and fauna, ecotourism and responsible travel, scientific discoveries and where to go and how to travel in the Galapagos Islands.
