The Charles Darwin Research Station is open Monday-Sunday, from 08:00 to 18:00 (including public holidays). Come visit us in the heart of Galapagos!

Dive into a powerful reflection on ocean decline—and the surprising places where hope still thrives. This story journeys from centuries-old seas teeming with life to today’s threatened oceans, revealing why Galápagos remains a living window into the past. Discover why witnessing these wonders fuels the fight to protect our blue planet.
