Medium to deep roasted Nicaraguan coffee flavors introduce Santa Cruz Manor

The accompanying companions tried to take a group photo but the tour guide warned again and again not to touch life on the island at will, so take a photo at a distance. Of course, Mr. giant tortoise crossing the road was really pussy enough to pull his head and limbs back into his shell as soon as he met a human.

The so-called highland is the highest point on the island, about 800m above sea level. The car climbed all the way along the ridge line and the temperature dropped. The air was fresh after the rain, but the woods were muddy. With one foot deep and one foot shallow, I followed the guide to the paradise of the giant turtles.

Now it's time for biology class! How to tell the age of giant turtles, male and female? How to understand the living habits of giant turtles? The giant tortoise has survived tenaciously to this day and has given Mr Darwin enough hints. Such a NPC is really great. As for the reason why giant turtles were greatly reduced and on the verge of extinction, apart from natural disasters, man-made disasters were the biggest killers: as giant turtles evolved the unnatural skill of not eating or drinking for a year, the sailors at that time directly caught the giant turtles and stored them on the ship for use as rations: anyway, they would not die at the bottom of the ship for months, and they would still kill fresh meat when they were about to eat. In this way, giant turtles have gone extinct from more than 40 species to now only more than 10 species. How many species of giant turtles have foodie seafarers eaten up? I don't know, but the ones that survive are the ones with the worst taste. You still have to pay $100 per person to enter the Galapagos National Park, but! Our wise South American travel customization company has already put this money in the tour fee, so don't pay extra! Although the wool is still on me, I still have the happiness of picking up my wallet.

Our first stop is in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island (the muddy ground of Giant Turtle Playground). The guide is very proud to say that the wild turtles here are the largest you can find in the Galapagos. Before we finished, we came across a giant tortoise crossing the road. His leisurely demeanor and contempt are sure to have the grace of Galapagos to pay a registration fee of $30 at the airport and go through three baggage checks. The aim is not to let alien species break the ecosystem here (but always reliable South Americans. The most interesting of them is the police dogs jumping up and down the baggage claim area at Galapagos airport to check their luggage: a large group of humans are waiting for the release of a dog, and it can only be said that the butt determines the head. Unfortunately, there were too many people at that time, and my camera was unable to remove a layer of water fog because of the high humidity of the ocean climate, so I didn't get a picture of the serious and lively police dog. If you have a chance in the future, you must come and see it.
