Casa Natura Galapagos Lodge

Location

As mentioned, Santa Cruz’s main town of Puerto Ayora is only a 10-15 minute drive. The road up to the Itabaca channel – to cross to Baltra airport – is around half an hour. The property itself is surrounded by the highland forest, but with easy access to the main road running between the airport and Puerto Ayora. Playa el Garrapatero is less than 20 minutes by road.

Layout

The property is one main building, containing the reception, dining & social area and open-kitchen; along with all accommodation. Outside is the pool, which features a slide built into natural rock, along with a bar that has both covered and open terrace areas with seating & hammocks. Behind the main building is the organic garden and walking trail.

Rooms

Casa Natura Galapagos Lodge has a total of 13 rooms plus a superior suite, all of which are en-suite, are air-conditioned and have a private patio/balcony. The rooms are available as King, Twin, Triple or Quadruple. The superior suite is located on the ground floor and has dual-aspect windows and balcony.

Features

On site, the outdoor pool and bar are a good place to relax; or take a wander around their gardens.
