Pond of life - Galapagos

Nothing prepares you; well nothing prepared me when I was witnessed with my own eyes the Giant Galapagos Tortoise. I’ve seen them on TV nature shows and in magazines, but to actually see one in person, to see a living; breathing and majestic animal was a humbling experience. 

At first I thought we were making our way through the island to get onto our boats, but this epic adventure literally started once we boarded the bus from the airport and we made our way to see the famed Giant Galapagos Tortoise in a reserve that has helped with boosting their numbers on the island. As we were walking I couldn't see anything, just green fields, with bushes and trees, and then out of nowhere, what seemed like a scene out of Jurassic Park, we came across a pond
