Floreana
Sports and other services in FloreanaOn Floreana island there is actually nothing organized for sport fanatics or for visitors in general, except for those who like to walk. The highlands of Floreana are actually a very pleasant place to walk. It is a very fresh and green area where a lot of inhabitants have their farms. It is a zone where you can find some of the most famous historical sites of the island, like the caves where the Wittmers lived or the Mirador de la Baronesa named in honor of the eccentric baroness who arrived at Floreana in the mid 30’s and disappeared mysteriously with one of her three lovers.Bird watchers will be enchanted with this zone. The Galapagos National Park is constructing a corral for tortoises close to the famous caves. To get there you can take a bus and then walk for 15 minutes. You can reach all these tourist sites easily by bus or on foot. PUBLIC SERVICE With a little less than 100 inhabitants and the majority living in the highlands, Floreana doesn’t offer much in the way of services for tourists. Apart from a Primary School and the church, the village only has one little shop. There is no bank, no telephone exchange, hospital or other such services. |
