Parroquia Puerto Ayora Anchorage

You're dropping anchor in the heart of the Galápagos Islands, right off Puerto Ayora — the largest town in the archipelago and your gateway to one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. The anchorage puts you within reach of the Charles Darwin Research Station, where you can see giant tortoises up close, plus the lively waterfront along Avenida Charles Darwin with its restaurants and shops. Wildlife here is famously unbothered by humans, so expect sea lions, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies treating the anchorage like their personal territory.
