Location: Santa Cruz, Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, South America
Accommodations: House, 4 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Our house is known as Cactuspad because cacti are one of the main species of plant that dominate the dry areas of Galapagos.
The accommodations at Cactuspad work in the same way as Gites in France and holiday homes elsewhere. The difference is that Cactuspad is found in the heart of the Galapagos Islands, the Pacific National Park famous for its pristine ecosystems and fearless wildlife.
Situated in a quiet part of the quaint town of Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz Island, our house was originally built as the family home of Galapagos Naturalists, Paul and Gaby McFarling and their young children.
This cozy home is great for a family with young children and even for small groups.
With it's dedicated housekeeper, Cactuspad and its gardens provide an idyllic, self-catering option and an affordable alternative to the traditional cruises of Galapagos.
p.s. We have now opened a cosy 2-bedroom apartment. Please ask for more details.
