Descanso del Guía
About
Descanso del Guía serves Galápagos from Barrio el Mirador Cerca del, Terminal Terreste y de, 200350 Puerto Ayora, Ecuador, on Santa Cruz. Visitors give it a 4.3 out of 5 average across 264 reviews, a steady record for a town of this size. Puerto Ayora, Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Puerto Villamil, San Cristobal, Santa Cruz, Isabela, Floreana and Tortuga Bay all lie within the archipelago's reach, so the venue is positioned for travellers moving between islands. The website at https://descansodelguia.com/ carries its details.
Almost all of the Galápagos is national park, and settlement is limited to four inhabited islands, which shapes how any visit is planned. Galápagos food is based on seafood — ceviche, grilled fish and lobster — with plantain, rice and Ecuadorian sauces, so meals tend to be built around the day's catch.
The archipelago lies about 900 kilometres west of mainland Ecuador and straddles the Equator, a position that keeps temperatures steady through the year. Marine iguanas, the only sea-going lizards, are found only in the Galápagos Islands, and they are a common sight along the shoreline.
