Many of the boats arriving in French Polynesia pass through the Galapagos. Avaaz has just launched a petition https://secure.avaaz.org/fr/galapagos_loc_3b/ to buy a 230 ha parcel to preserve it.
Walter Bustos, the director of the Galapagos National Park, said: "We would like to further develop a much slower, experience-based type of tourism."
Is this type of tourism compatible with the passage of sailboats? What did you see for yourself? What experience, even negative, do you get from your time in the archipelago? Leave your comments below... or write us an article!
