The Charles Darwin Research Station is a staple part of any Galapagos tour or cruise. Named for the renowned 19th-century naturalist who first posited the theory of evolution & natural selection, breakthrough scientific discoveries are still being made here every year. It is located on Santa Cruz Island and serves as the headquarters for the Galapagos National Park. The most notable projects here are the iguana and tortoise breeding programs. In an effort to conserve and protect these unique, endemic animals, threatened iguana & tortoise species from various islands are bred in captivity and raised until adulthood, when they can be repatriated into their natural environment. Visitors here can see them up close, being raised from egg to maturity, and interact with the scientists and volunteers who manage projects.
