Getting to the Galapagos:
The Galapagos Islands are a long way away from London! The overnight flight
to Ecuador takes about 15 hours and we usually have to spend a night in
Quito before continuing the next morning to the Galapagos.
The flight to the Galapagos takes about two-and-a-half hours and lands
at the airstrip on San Cristobal island from where we transfer to the
Jatun Sacha Research Station.
