Be a responsible traveler: Tourism is regulated by the authorities in Galapagos; we are certified by the Ministry of tourism for this activity.  We are conscious of the environment: We are naturalists, so we try our best to be ecological friendly: AC is an inverter system, our hot water is run with solar power, we collect rainwater and we have endemic and native gardens. You get your own apartment in the Galapagos! The suite is all yours, the main door on the street is shared with the other suite, but each apartment has an independent entrance. Also, you have your own terrace and a garden with lazy chairs to relax after your visits. And you have a terrace in the back part of the building with a table and chairs to enjoy the breeze of the afternoon. How much interaction we will have with you really depends on our trips. We work as naturalists guides onboard a boat, if we are in town we will be around, welcome you and we will be happy to meet you and help you in what you need; if we are working we will be in town once a week. Sometimes we travel to other places just for fun. But we are always happy to keep communication on internet and answer all your questions! We know well the islands and of course we love to share them so you can have the best experience! Mayra, our assistant, comes from Monday to Friday in the mornings. She will take the garbage from the patio to the main street on the assigned days, give maintenance to the gardens and she can help you with assistance if you need anything for the house. Privilege location: It's at the entrance of Tortuga Bay, so just in the limit with the National Park, therefore you are not in the middle of the city, it's a quiet neighborhood but yet close to everything. Just two blocks away from the main street. There is no public transportation in town, taxis are $1.5 everywhere inside town. If you go to the highlands or to the airport then different rates apply. You can always rent bikes and enjoy town in that way! And you can go walking everywhere too! Aura has been working as a naturalist guide for 12 years, Nicolai worked on the Charles Darwin Station and now is a naturalist too. We love the islands and we will give you advice in how to maximize your experience here.
