Where is Galapagos Safari Camp located?

Galapagos Safari Camp is located in the highlands of Santa Cruz island, neighboring the small village of Bellavista. Just 30 minutes from Puerto Ayora and Baltra Airport.

What are the assets of Galapagos Safari Camp?

The stylish camp offers a panoramic lodge, nine charming tents all with private facilities and luxurious amenities. There is a family suite and an infinity pool under a canapé of endemic trees. This is the land where tortoises roam free and you will be able to wake up alongside the Escalesia forest listening to the finches sing. It is a common scene to spot a Darwin finch jump around the dining room, as these creatures are repeat visitors and part of the natural show enjoyed by the few privileged guests. It is quite common to spot a giant tortoise just below your tent sharing this secluded haven within the already remote Galápagos islands.

The Galapagos Safari Camp is located in a 55-hectare farm in harmony with nature. A visit to the islands will offer the opportunity to learn more about an eco-friendly lifestyle that co-exists with the unique environs of the archipelago.

This unique property is the first of its kind in Ecuador and one of very few in South America. An atmosphere where each daily excursion is celebrated with a homemade meal, fine dining featuring organic produce that is slow cooked highlighting the diverse ingredients of Ecuador.
