Yoga and Yogalates with Cathie

Quito Old Town

North of Quito in the Andes. Markets, alpacas, mountains and traditional towns.

Genovesa Island - a shield volcano. The caldera is horseshoe shaped forming a sheltered harbour. Home to the short eared owl that hunts during the day 🦉 (if you’re lucky 🍀) plus snorkeling with hammerhead sharks 😳

Accidental long wait in Chile. Not on the agenda, but somewhere we’d like to return to 🙃🏔️ 🏔️ Patagonia ??
On our way home in another 9 hrs…

Guayaquil, Ecuador
Last stop before the long journey home. This is a port town that they are beginning to develop into a tourist destination. First settled by the Spanish in the 1500s. Also a 11pm to 5am curfew and many warnings about pickpockets.

San Cristobal - a populated island
Last night on the boat surrounded by at least 15 Galapagos sharks (big and bitey 😳)

Isla Plaza Sur. An upthrust island (not volcanic). A very different landscape with cactii and sedges.

Seymour Norte Islet

Darwin Beach, Genovesa Island
The most untouched island in The Galapagos. It’s the remainder of a volcano and we are anchored in the former caldera.

The Galápagos Islands- amazing!
