La Galapaguera: A Close Encounter with San Cristóbal’s Giant Tortoises
Galapaguera de Cerro Colorado的点评
点评：During our visit to San Cristóbal Island, we explored La Galapaguera de Cerro Colorado, a breeding center and sanctuary for giant tortoises. This national park offered an incredible opportunity to see these majestic creatures up close while learning about the conservation efforts ensuring their survival. Nestled about 40 minutes from Puerto Baquerizo Moreno, the drive to La Galapaguera was a scenic journey through lush highlands, transitioning into a semi-arid environment—the perfect habitat for these iconic reptiles.
The facility features well-maintained trails that guide visitors through enclosures where giant tortoises roam freely. We observed these fascinating creatures basking in the sun, feeding, and slowly navigating their terrain. Informative signage and exhibits provided insights into the challenges tortoises face, including invasive species and habitat loss. Staff explained how eggs are collected, incubated, and hatchlings raised until they can thrive in the wild. Learning about their vital role in the ecosystem and seeing individuals over a century old left us with a profound appreciation for their resilience.
One highlight was watching young tortoises in their enclosures—a heartwarming reminder of conservation’s impact. Observing the adults’ leisurely movements and serene demeanor was equally memorable. While not initially a high priority on our itinerary, La Galapaguera proved to be an enriching experience. It’s a must-visit for those seeking to connect with the natural wonders of the Galápagos while supporting meaningful conservation efforts.

翻译：在访问圣克里斯托瓦尔岛期间，我们探索了塞罗科罗拉多加拉帕格拉，这是巨型陆龟的繁殖中心和保护区。这个国家公园提供了一个绝佳的机会，可以近距离观察这些雄伟的生物，同时了解确保它们生存的保护工作。加拉帕格拉距离巴克里索莫雷诺港约 40 分钟路程，一路风景优美，穿过郁郁葱葱的高地，进入半干旱环境——这些标志性爬行动物的完美栖息地。
该设施设有维护良好的小径，引导游客穿过巨型陆龟自由漫步的围栏。我们观察到这些迷人的生物沐浴阳光、进食并缓慢地穿越地形。信息丰富的标牌和展品让我们深入了解了陆龟面临的挑战，包括入侵物种和栖息地丧失。工作人员解释了如何收集、孵化和养育幼龟，直到它们能够在野外茁壮成长。了解它们在生态系统中发挥的重要作用，并看到超过百岁高龄的个体，让我们对它们的坚韧不拔深表赞赏。
其中一个亮点是观察围栏中的幼龟——这令人温暖地提醒我们保护的影响。观察成年龟悠闲的动作和平静的举止同样令人难忘。虽然最初并不是我们行程的重点，但 La Galapaguera 被证明是一次丰富的体验。对于那些希望与加拉帕戈斯群岛的自然奇观建立联系并支持有意义的保护工作的人来说，这是一个必游之地。
