Baltra, Los Gemelos, and the Wall of Tears

Here we are in the Galapagos Islands. To make your way onto these unbelievable islands, you must either take a flight to Baltra or San Cristobal or take a cruise. Me, I like to explore, and made the smart choice to stay on the islands and experience it completely by foot. I landed in Baltra.




Los Gemelos



The twins were formed from an explosion that happened thousands and thousands of years ago. Except if you ever visit the island of Santa Cruz, you will see that the twins don't look alike. The one above, is shaped like a crater, while the other one ended up not exploding to crater-like status. An amazing site to see.


What you don't really hear at all is that there is another crater (above) that was also cause by the same similar explosion. It is known on the island that there are triplet, not twin, craters. The triplet looks nothing like the other two, as you can see. It is much smaller and not as deep as the other one mentioned above. But nevertheless, they are triplets.

The Wall of Tears





*Located on Isla Isabela. This wall was made by prisoners who suffered here on the island and it was made to show and express to everyone what they went through after they were finally released.
