Santa Cruz
About
Santa Cruz, on Galápagos, sits in Ecuador and draws a 4.7 out of 5 average across 470 reviews, a figure that points to sustained visitor approval rather than a brief spell of attention.
First-time visitors can expect the island's main town of Puerto Ayora as the natural base, with Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, Puerto Villamil, San Cristobal, Isabela and Floreana all linked by inter-island transport. Tortuga Bay lies within reach of Puerto Ayora, and land transport on the inhabited islands uses buses, pickup trucks and water taxis between town and pier.
The island is one of the larger ones in the group, with Santa Cruz itself giving its name to both the island and the surrounding administrative area. A cool mist called the garúa covers the highlands of larger Galápagos islands during the dry season.
The Galápagos are volcanic islands formed over a hotspot, with shield volcanoes, lava fields and black basalt shores, and the dry season runs from June to November while the warm season runs from December to May, with different wildlife activity across the two.
