”“These islands appear to be a paradise for the whole family of reptiles.”

“I scarcely hesitate to affirm, that there must be in the whole archipelago at least two thousand craters…. Nothing could be less inviting than the first appearance”.

Darwin, 1845

INTERPRETATION CENTER

This state of the art facility was donated by the Spanish government and inaugurated by the Prince of Spain on August 12, 1998. The center is mainly focused on the interaction between the human populations and the processes of the so-called "laboratory of Natural History", showing that a harmonious relationship between humans and nature is possible if undertaken in the right way. Interactive displays enhance the interpretation.

The center is divided in several pavilions, each one with its own theme: geology, evolution, human history and current problems and its solutions, amongst others. Your journey and understanding of Galapagos would be incomplete if you did not visit the Interpretation center.
