Explora los sabores auténticos de Holy Cross en una experiencia gastronómica inolvidable.
Santa Cruz is the second largest island in the Galapagos archipelago and its main economic and tourist center. Its capital, Puerto Ayora, is the most populated city of the islands and has a vibrant offer of restaurants, hotels and excursion agencies. Unlike other more arid islands, Santa Cruz has a wide variety of microclimates ranging from dry coastal areas to green, humid highlands. It is the place par excellence to observe the famous giant tortoises in their natural habitat, explore underground lava tunnels and enjoy white coral sand beaches. Its central location makes it the perfect base for daily sailing tours to other uninhabited islands in the national park.

Gastronomy in Santa Cruz is strongly based on fresh seafood from the Pacific, combined with Andean and tropical ingredients from mainland Ecuador.
A bright red local rockfish. It is commonly served fried whole or grilled, with very tasty and delicate white meat.
An endemic mollusk that lives in intertidal rocks. Its texture is similar to that of octopus and it is prepared in ceviche with lemon, onion and cilantro.
Available only during the authorized trapping season (generally July through December). It is served with garlic, butter or grilled.
A hearty rice dish cooked with a variety of fresh seafood such as shrimp, squid, shells and fish.
Specialty coffee grown in the highlands of the island. Due to the volcanic soil and climate, it has a unique and highly sought after flavor.
Fresh juices of passion fruit, soursop, guava and tree tomato, very popular to cool off from the equatorial heat.
Famous for its extensive fine white sand that looks like talcum powder. It is divided into Playa Brava (strong currents, ideal for surfing and iguanas) and Playa Mansa (a quiet lagoon surrounded by mangroves).
