Things to do in Seymour Airport
Baltra Airport is the main gateway to the Galápagos Islands — one of Earth's last intact evolutionary laboratories, where giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, and blue-footed boobies evolved without fear of predators and remain remarkably unafraid of humans. The Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz Island (15 minutes by bus and ferry from Baltra) breeds endangered giant tortoise species. Snorkeling off Puerto Ayora's beaches means sharing the water with sea turtles, Galápagos penguins, and reef sharks.
