On my second day in the Enchanted Islands, as the Galapagos Islands are also known, my plan was to visit one of its beaches, the most famous one on Santa Cruz Island, where I was staying. As I was on a tight budget, I had marked the free places to visit in Puerto Ayora and its surroundings in my travel guide, and Tortuga Bay was one of them. >*En mi segundo día en las Islas Encantadas, como también se conoce a las Islas Galápagos, mi plan fue ir a una de sus playas, la más famosa de la isla Santa Cruz, donde me estaba alojando. Como mi presupuesto era ajustado, había marcado en mi guía de viaje los lugares gratuitos que se podían visitar en Puerto Ayora y sus alrededores, y Bahía Tortuga era uno de ellos.* ![072.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpLg4QbiRhw87F4dSFTd2Kyx1tw5r2BeTXQRPZjQzS4xgSFcZMZN1wbmCYPSm1uxo7D.JPG) I got up early, had breakfast, and headed to the main pier. I had seen on the map that the trail started nearby, and the beach wasn't far away, only 2.5 km from Puerto Ayora. As soon as you start the hike, you see the rocks that characterize volcanic landscapes, a forest of cacti, and endemic vegetation. >*Me levanté temprano, desayuné y me dirigí al muelle principal. Había visto en el mapa que el sendero comenzaba cerca de allí, y la playa no estaba muy lejos, sólo a 2,5 km de Puerto Ayora. Apenas comienzas la caminata ves las rocas que caracterizan los paisajes volcánicos, un bosque de cactus y vegetación endémica.* ![071.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/244A4cUxs2LojhF6w3AtRBwC37j227yk3EwFet6hQjuKVFfipuTTuETQ65ysKaV4PFWwb.JPG) You must register at the park ranger station and be aware of the regulations. As this is a protected area, nothing is sold there, and there are no shops on the beach, so you must bring your own water and food. >*Hay que registrarse en el puesto de guardaparques y estar al tanto de la normativa. Como esta es un área protegida, no venden nada allí, no hay ningún tipo de comercio en la playa, así que debes llevar tu agua y comida.* ![138.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EopuLFS5MEqxsUz2anbtwns6Wkg2ZQrzZNYdDxpeZCzqVw6xSA7fAdLbeJ7YgTqXZsm.JPG) The initial trail is paved, but when you reach the shore, at the first beach called Playa Brava (Rough Beach), the route continues along the sand. >*El tramo inicial está pavimentado, pero al llegar a la costa, en la primera playa llamada Playa Brava, la ruta continúa por la arena.* ![073.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqSWXWCpxfvaq7LpZE5nDpPHgrxZNW4cCaQSSPr1Mt7EA1XgYwfytr8bfj8prc1xtEF.JPG) ![074.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EoTeNpXB23sMeV7Pc6QzUnytgteTKJZN4yy1NZgm3yn7M6MgWv6qMhNEbV9J6t7u6Fy.JPG) The day was cloudy, so the landscape of this white sand beach, rough waters, and black rocks looked somewhat wild. >*El día estaba nublado, por lo que el paisaje de esta playa de arena blanca, aguas agitadas y rocas negras lucía algo salvaje.* ![075.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqhRHMEkyPLzqy7QHBsdYdX6jomZ7gdhng54Fj2z1MkGANYygczeeAQUgUw9ML2KwTf.JPG) ![076.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EnYSKhsqdu8mvPQ8wLgZ6UqmQ27qnsNqpA6N9Y6fJxY4YeCUEHMRNJb4w8zqBbxaKi8.JPG) In Tortuga Bay, where there is an area of small dunes, green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas) lay their eggs. There are signs and markings to keep people away from the area. >*En Bahía Tortuga, donde hay una zona de pequeñas dunas, las tortugas marinas verdes (Chelonia mydas) depositan sus huevos. Hay letreros y marcas para que la gente se mantenga alejada de allí.* ![077.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EoyPvNYzqzxz5k79RaxtWHN4CQcRcmzEuohsnEW6ZpHdRgY1Nxr7x72NTjZjzdXPvat.JPG) Playa Brava, the main beach in Bahía Tortuga, is not suitable for swimming as it is open to the ocean and has strong currents. However, it is ideal for walking and observing nature, is quite long, measuring over a kilometer. >*Playa Brava, la playa principal de Bahía Tortuga, no es apta para nadar ya que está abierta al océano y tiene corrientes fuertes. Sin embargo, es ideal para caminar y observar la naturaleza, es bastante larga, mide más de un kilómetro.* ![078.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqhQhVeKn96hsDNQDrWAe1YeBzt3fnQdsfDDGpdtDRtHycQ1PCus8C6HNE4ktRpDVBX.JPG) ![079.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eq7NR3jmgbXnDZJQeonVSoRLvva37MptS55PKb4jfgWYDrwjnGy8LKYyDq1uEymGef9.JPG) A few drops were falling as I walked and took pictures, and my camera lens got a little wet, but I didn't notice. I took pictures of this bird that appeared there, and look, you can see the spots in the image. >*Estaban cayendo unas gotas mientras caminaba y fotografiaba, y el lente de mi cámara se mojó un poco, pero no me di cuenta. Le tomé fotos a este pájaro que apareció allí, y miren, se ven las manchas en la imagen.* ![080.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eq5F1r7Ve8zB9MSGq9RFFMJ7x9x5xbiir2RRmUDpyhtTQG3iMtkeNVJ8zQzFutAiafU.JPG) ![081.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqFtrek8nZZq31SuedBzmKitcKH3EuMXaxceVW22CU9Y3EDBDn6Ueqi7ZjQ7mXQdsFs.JPG) ![082.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eo8Wgo8P8GPZ2aE3M6AFQQLzPuoGHkXEADK5dA8EGmwaocgFDzZ7JYJ1A4rLAHBGK5A.JPG) As it was early, there were few people on the trail, so I could observe the beauty of the surroundings in peace. The sky was gradually clearing, and with the sun's rays, the water appeared in different shades of blue. >*Como era temprano, había poca gente en el sendero, así que pude observar la belleza del entorno con tranquilidad. El cielo se fue despejando poco a poco, y con los rayos del sol, el agua se mostraba en diferentes tonos de azul.* ![083.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eq9VFA8dxrUGnyGQhSgDSKMVUeYAw79FHAVkgdQRtXjqSMQTd8rURN32DmMgem7JHxx.JPG) ![084.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EoEtsR17X9bco4vspfTMs7hbyxgYLLkQ26JzSAgH7RiFYuVvxbxnwY5JfB5GcwnAFFA.jpg) ![085.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/23xyZDcF4amKY3Q78R9kBeSJuQigSadkZMfDCMwCQtLpjhsNteXqAci1PMmm4QFELgLYW.JPG) ![086.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpEJFJxKKxRMZcec8imnGboT1Z4KeUXaNkjfacGcrkKYmtp2HBT872piMwgWvcruZbt.JPG) ![087.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eqb43Ma2eFfRqaySQvNMEpnDjsmwfYTcwvyNVGSr7vysDnrTnAiQM9owF5c3Cw3YY2c.JPG) Suddenly, the charismatic marine iguanas appeared, one of the most famous animals in the Galapagos Islands. I had seen them the day before, on my first walk through Puerto Ayora, but here they were more at ease. >*De repente, aparecieron las carismáticas iguanas marinas, uno de los animales más famosos de las Islas Galápagos. Las había conocido el día anterior, en mi primer paseo por Puerto Ayora, pero aquí estaban más a sus anchas.* ![088.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EoeHFhL8jiwFkZyazMaXvMJuxpFh4Wwik17WUTbQfsWWTRcNveGA6vWDVNvF5XsNLxT.JPG) ![089.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EoeGsP6nykt3DnPAjUmYTg42L7wdR38Tgzv67S2PTkX6z8L1s9JQzagT7yn9ssJDLJo.JPG) ![091.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eq36XYDQtPXGRk34yAXLHBXaW4FfvNozNB18NGGB5qgthSQNi3KVGEorFqzy4urLbYX.JPG) These lizards, endemic to these islands, are the only marine iguanas in the world. They are herbivorous and feed on seaweed and some coastal plants. >*Estos lagartos, endémicos de estas islas, son las únicas iguanas marinas del mundo. Son herbívoros y se alimentan de algas marinas y algunas plantas costeras.* ![092.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/23ywwQYxuAG6CHVtAPke9zfVMRz5Z5TgkPQiEMXqrnykHvchBwj1DgZ5jhNgdww4bUDTR.JPG) Some people were scared of them, but I was fascinated, so I took lots of photos of them. >*Algunas personas les tenían miedo, yo estaba fascinada, por eso les tomé muchas fotos.* ![094.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpviohRZaWMaSAPBn3Cnj9LWFut7trJuke4hpLpqgHAg2qGG5D8NpKMxWvob4QztfsG.JPG) Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish them when they are close to or on top of the black rocks on the beach. >*A veces es difícil distinguirlas cuando están cerca o encima de las rocas negras de la playa.* ![095.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqqvnYxQ5LjiMeuDiWsusmyhjyPwPQycigdngHp9sSSC9cjkETxgmxhuFuZP9cuer7z.JPG) ![096.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eqmg3yfVQgcPrf1KzSTiGXnneRHBvFVRTjsFH4TfXm9n1UHVAwswTVwAxCkSLHkujeC.JPG) Look at that fabulous punk mohawk! 😃 >*¡Miren esa fabulosa cresta punk! 😃* ![097.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpNoonZuCZPdgazf3UtCEQbitGDjJCaCyU2RkQYFyve7LL9udTwMBaazvYrpao2tjyK.JPG) I kept walking and found myself in a forest of cacti. Everything seemed unreal. The ground was also very unusual, like marine debris. >*Seguí caminando y me encontré en un bosque de cactus. Todo me parecía irreal. El suelo también era muy inusual, como de restos marinos.* ![098.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqomTKRHeJbsD2MiVsnnuNVeH741GtFFw2B5K2hmgmqwEjxuYnWVydksBDZ6Hrse1Pm.JPG) ![099.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eo6Lov4kv6jDctr8XGcx8e8cCGDXGma6Qd3k8pqP5UqeMAWq2vWWtrMrdmxESeo8dwE.JPG) ![100.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqfGp274Gi1RDiie7rp2jBNEccAwdKmoaLdbnNpgAHm3Xmg6tQPnXiWea6NCJNdnZoY.JPG) The iguanas were still everywhere. Several of them were walking toward the beach, and I strayed from the path for a while to follow them. I became a fan! 😄 >*Las iguanas seguían estando por todas partes. Varias de ellas caminaban hacia la playa, y me desvié un rato del sendero para ir tras ellas. ¡Me convertí en fan! 😄* ![101.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eq377J5BRb71bP96scREEcaRRXHixmQYS6fppW91ZGF568rYmpE2iziSbCzTVfnP3Nk.JPG) ![102.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eos2mdpUVvVzen27BAJMRDySMLvmAjgiFojNYMWSn5nJvAcVZ8i4X5ChDvJirdLx8Fs.JPG) ![103.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqquTSVozttfCYSjyi2mdQQvJnQp3mrFM8qqEBiLc3trL2ZUGDQzpV3fe3qTLUtyBeA.JPG) They are quite fast, especially when they are about to reach the water. And watching them dive is great fun. >*Son bastante veloces, sobre todo cuando están a punto de llegar al agua. Y verlas zambullirse es muy divertido.* ![104.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EogNpqminVUfBc3SphRgFxWtTSQxbYgLZpswhPR5NbQi5W2QKEvkEbiTTZEMSDNDjoX.JPG) ![106.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/23xp69hCDmPJzksAFFHtDGH9BUgj9RfK9o9jvLpV1ySUf5z9f3NUG6m94sAcNRBWdEq7s.JPG) ![108.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpQwGGYHVLuTRnwZyHgt2Hi8aYKHTDEdnkYTkFaShMLciCEfnHKHPsTZ8krbKG2VWgi.JPG) ![109.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EoXsDWYrH7iTmt22Qz7TGRM9UAdjjoCy28GvrorTWzxbjUVr3aeH57fhpvBxT8wcVqr.JPG) ![111.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EoptKbT4dntn2hHULCdbntU1RJt1cMb2nKGAH5t3tqLmzfQ8pSodFbEMAzW6JrofLC8.JPG) After walking for just over an hour, I reached the second beach in Tortuga Bay: Playa Mansa (Calm Beach). >*Cuando llevaba poco más de una hora caminando, llegué a la segunda playa de Bahía Tortuga: Playa Mansa.* ![110.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Eqb2YkcR2Fd3DuAL2kUa2kwNx1Grzd33LdMjvsPzZe9mrh48tqQ98hmCPTTsdRV7u2k.JPG) Swimming is permitted at this beach. The waters are very calm and clear, and that's why you can also go snorkeling. >*En esta playa si está permitido bañarse. Las aguas son muy tranquilas y claras, y por eso también se puede hacer snorkel.* ![112.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpVCXwfLwwY6MWAJGQTzcsCSfV4wQ6ZCj2CD9i5X7EaUhFDxbjwqP5mEdr4pCYUZPbN.JPG) I looked for a spot under the shade of the trees, left my things there, and immediately went to dive into this beautiful beach. It was my first time swimming in the waters of the Pacific Ocean. >*Busqué un lugar bajo la sombra de los árboles, dejé mis cosas allí y enseguida me metí en esta hermosa playa. Era la primera vez que nadaba en las aguas del océano Pacífico.* ![113a.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqWnf6ijrtoWZR6BE1mYuGKcDmVHvzNkDjkjNYdHvrUySJiCer9gCeo6dE2LX2wJcfw.jpg) ![113.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Ep1ZpHJVdgjB2cf4L3w1RS8w87m3GKbV8pq85oyKtDhZKMF6DPz96Ng2NP963h3NCAw.JPG) When I got out of the water, I was hungry, so I sat down to eat some sweet breads I had brought with me. As soon as I took them out of my backpack, I was surrounded by a group of restless little birds. >*Cuando salí del agua tenía hambre, y me senté a comer unos panes dulces que había llevado. Apenas los saqué me mi mochila fui rodeada por un grupo de inquietos pajaritos.* ![114.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqYvg7KGx32jeuQCjMiDqjR6XymQyU4sthmLm4fQcWTjLyyMPiG9fUA3spg5ri79C65.JPG) ![115.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpGUdvaES3cm1jZmPKq5GUUoGCCWgk2AehwWn69NAj7oyd9UNbzuGHsxEUw9raLRuzf.JPG) I had read that the wildlife on the Galapagos Islands was not afraid of people, but I never imagined that even the birds weren't afraid of us. I had never experienced anything like it. >*Había leído que la fauna de las Islas Galápagos no le tenía miedo a las personas, pero nunca imaginé que ni siquiera los pájaros nos tenían miedo. Nunca había experimentado algo así.* ![116.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/23zbgpFrqtuiBgDjwyxWW79Eoc9aAJezhKnzyMZ1GwjamgWSYdE4kdf2LVqq2UGG9na7z.JPG) These bold little birds are Darwin's finches. They are endemic land birds, of which there are about 18 species. They are named after the English naturalist who studied them when he visited these islands in 1835. >*Estos atrevidos pajaritos son los pinzones de Darwin. Son aves terrestres endémicas, de las que hay unas 18 especies. Reciben su nombre del naturalista inglés que las estudió cuando visitó estas islas en 1835.* ![120.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Ep1akkaP65xg6GGRNroqj9QeoTqjYx8qqXVe1NYFGyK4iRPuoGGdViBGq2kq4hrnVMM.JPG) He observed that there were small birds on the islands that looked alike, except for their beaks. According to his theory, their beaks had adapted depending on the food they found on each island. >*Observó que en las islas había pájaros pequeños que se parecían entre sí, excepto por el pico. Según su teoría, sus picos se habían adaptado a la comida que encontraban en cada isla.* ![122.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqhSfNp4V7ridGewNJEptLonUHCU8ad3hn59JKphveHeCrvchHJpxrxTYkBzLwd9eRL.JPG) As you can see in the photo below, food was a source of conflict among those around me 😆. The rules at this place prohibit feeding the animals, and it wasn't my intention to do so, but the finches don't respect the rules and almost took the bread crumbs out of my hands 😂. >*Como verán en la foto a continuación, la comida fue motivo de conflicto entre los que me rodearon 😆. En las normas de este lugar se prohíbe alimentar a los animales, y no era mi intención hacerlo, pero los pinzones no respetan las reglas y casi me quitaban las migas de pan de las manos 😂.* ![123.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpvmL3xAvrWT6DUGLGemvSdevFXqmYWCoSfwZsi9BiLwjwMzncuRp6zqe29Ze9DLHzQ.JPG) When I ran out of food, they calmed down. I stayed for a while sunbathing, then walked along the beach and saw that kayaks were available for rent. I asked, and it cost $10 for an hour, which I thought was a good price. >*Cuando se me acabó la comida, se calmaron. Me quedé un rato tomando sol, luego caminé por la playa y vi que se podían alquilar kayaks. Pregunté y costaba 10 dólares por una hora, me pareció buen precio.* ![126.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/243Bu67F1FGobNR2tC1LumoNAincEVA2aWraSDk4qPj9ZsnBXpmPQsyqahsJeP84CT7F3.JPG) ![127.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpA4wrJXCBcbjFYppECiHCTafPR1NiX5yL89211iq2CxgNNB39Ab1TMiULjp5PccTDW.JPG) ![128.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/Ep5ogqSCSRqu3nwyT7KmuxxQ2yHk1LdmVCBkBwidLpSBeb1pv5hqXxuAfwASDT8bmSD.JPG) I really enjoy kayaking; paddling through calm waters is very peaceful. I put on my life jacket and set off to explore 😊. >*Hacer kayak me gusta mucho; remar por aguas tranquilas da mucha paz. Me puse el salvavidas y a explorar 😊.* ![130.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EpJY4NNHqECytRiWPdssrqCMQVZP9GgAyXPUp6usZwbvLtrbNa7SPA8DptSEFKKqBXe.JPG) ![132.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EqWnHMcxNtvRhoyVt2tEcR5V1x3TggW3Z4Adtn2jsU1yr5ZwARUoBF8NuE59ugBnk1Y.JPG) I saw a turtle swimming near me, although I didn't have time to photograph it, and I also saw a small shark near the mangroves. >*Pude ver una tortuga nadando cerca de mí, aunque no me dio tiempo de fotografiarla, y también vi un pequeño tiburón cerca de los manglares.*

On my way back, I stayed a little longer swimming at the beach, and at around 5:00 p.m. I returned to Puerto Ayora, happy to have had this experience. >*Al regresar me quedé un rato más bañándome en la playa, y como a las 5:00 pm me regresé a Puerto Ayora, feliz de haber vivido esta experiencia.* ![135.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EnqTWNpE5Wu54ood9Xen1LbQR7PeNr8Gby1oS4P6b6W4A1vsyP8CJuTPGZaj4rmiwPV.JPG) ![136.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/sofathana/EoTcRmfjAGyNS6WrLRKgdPhpR3oNAYKzNEGHRoLoPgzubaGYt6LiiMUHczQXojGqjvR.JPG) What did you think of Tortuga Bay?
