Up extra early for the trip to Santa Cruz. I'm wary of becoming sea sick and sit next to transom even though we get a soaking from spray and rain. Robin and I enjoy commiserating over the conditions with a laugh.
After a quick taxi-truck ride, we get a tour of the Darwin Research Center. By far the largest tortoises we've yet seen.
Richard takes over for Alfredo who has to travel to the US.
Another taxi-truck ride up to a park for more tortoise encounters and a short walk.
Upon return to the town we catch a water-taxi to our outstanding accommodations. While we get settled, Richard rounds up inflatable kayaks for an afternoon paddle.
I wasn't expecting much but was plesently surprised by the blue footed boobies flying and diving in formation just a few yards from out kayaks. A diversion into a narrow rock canyon revealed more birds just hanging out.
Great follow through and help in what needed to be done to have a safe successful trip !

Kelly and Rhenee were excellent to work with on planning our trip. The logistics all worked smoothly and everyone was friendly and on time. Our accommodations were very good, particularly the incredible Patagonia Camp in Torres del Paine! Our guides on every excursion were outstanding and made the hikes memorable! Overall we had a wonderful trip with incredible memories!
