For the first time in the trip, the National Geographic Islander visited an island populated by people. Santa Cruz is the second largest island in the Galapagos, home to the largest population. Here we visited the Charles Darwin Research Station and the Galapagos National Park Breeding Center for Giant tortoises. Also, we moved to a local farm where there were demonstrations of coffee making and sugar cane distilling from the plantations.
