Where to sleep in Galápagos — the neighborhoods and the picks, siesta side to fiesta side.
Puerto Ayora (Santa Cruz) — the hub
Most hotels, boats and bakeries — sea lions sleep on the benches anyway.
Puerto Villamil (Isabela) — sand streets
Flamingo lagoons and tunnels of lava — the barefoot island.
Puerto Baquerizo (San Cristóbal) — sea-lion capital
The colony owns the beaches; snorkeling at Kicker Rock from town.
Cruise vs land
Liveaboards reach the far islands; land-hopping is the budget path — mix both if you can.
