Galápagos Islands

Far away from the American subcontinent lie a couple of small islands. Greens spots covered by thick clouds, hidden from the eyes until the plane almost reaches the runway. We traveled from San Cristóbal to Santa Cruz via Floreana and Isla Isabela by boat, followed giant turtles’ tracks, peeped at sunbathing marine iguanas and swam with playful seals at the Tintoreras Islet.

About

I consider myself a travel photographer, one that arrives by bus, boat or plane, one that watches, observes, and sniffs the air. One that makes friends, tastes and experiences new things, then looks for the best composition and tries to press the shutter button at the right time.
