DISCOVER FASCINATING FACTS ABOUT THE GALAPAGOS
At Golden Galapagos, we love sharing the stories that make these islands truly extraordinary for guests.
Here are some captivating insights to inspire your guests and enhance their journey:
The Legacy of Pirates: In the 17th and 18th centuries, pirates found refuge in the Galapagos, using the islands as a shelter while raiding
Spanish treasure ships. They left behind a curious legacy—Post Office Bay, a makeshift pirate mail system that still operates today!
The Only Marine Iguana in the World: The Galapagos marine iguana is a one-of-a-kind species—the only lizard that swims in the ocean. It has evolved to dive for algae and even sneezes out salt, an adaptation that
highlights the island’s incredible biodiversity.
Pinnacle Rock: One of the most iconic sights of the Galapagos, Pinnacle
Rock on Bartolomé Island offers stunning views of volcanic landscapes and
turquoise waters. It’s also one of the best places to spot Galapagos
penguins and snorkel with vibrant marine life.
EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCES, PROVEN SATISFACTION!
At La Selva Eco-Lodge, our 94% NPS score reflects our guests’ exceptional

PROTECTING THE GALAPAGOS PENGUIN
The only penguin species found north of the equator thrives in the
Galapagos, but conservation is key to their survival.
Since 2022, we have supported the Galapagos Penguin Adoption Program
alongside the Charles Darwin Foundation, and we have renewed our commitment
this year to ensure their future and protection.
CRAFTING THE FUTURE OF PILCHE’S ARTISANAL HERITAGE
Our project has successfully concluded, bringing us closer to redefining
Pilche’s artisanal craftsmanship.
Over the past few months, artisans of our community have worked diligently
with expert craftsman Diego Carrasco to refine their prototypes, experiment
with new materials, and elevate their skills to create products that
reflect both innovation and heritage inspired by Amazonian biodiversity.
Excitingly, we’re now ready to showcase a trailer of what’s to come!
