Real Life Captured #84: San Cristobal Island Galapagos! Part Eight (15 photos)

in #travel6 years ago

Hey there my Steemit friends! Here we are the small town of Puerto Baquerizo on San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos. In this town about 95% of things going are non tourist related activities. Frankly once your off the main street along Shipwreck Bay there are only a few hotels and everything else would be not much different that any other small town in Ecuador.

I really liked this place. One thing that I noticed is that there is virtually no crime here. One way to know this is that there are no security guards in front of any of the biggest stores in town, and there are no lockers to put you bags into either. All through Ecuador any store of any significant size has both of these things to detour theft but here in the Galapagos this does no exist.

The people in Puerto Baquerizo are friendly, peaceful, seemingly happy, and life moves at relaxing slow pace. In these photos below we see kids in school uniforms as they are just getting out of class. We see the taxi area, the local bus that frequents the smaller town of El Progreso, some half built house, an auto mechanic's place of work and more. Now come along and let's see what every day life looks like here in the Galapagos!

¡Los ecuatorianos estamos muy orgullosos de las Galápagos!

Si ustedes tienen mucho para ser muy orgullosos!

No crime ? That must be a place where people would love to live! Are there any places where you could swim nearby? What are the prices there .. ? I wonder what's the thing that keeps people from committing a crime there, maybe its the education that they have? Definitely an interesting place.

Thank you for contributing to the Steemit Community.Keep up the great work and I'm looking forward to your next posts.

I think it's the isolated small community and good economy that keep the crime to a minimum. Thanks for your continued support.

it seems like you had a great time and you had enjoyed the journey. we also very lucky to have a knowledge about the cities around the world through your good posts.
thank you my friend.

Thank you so much. I love sharing all that I can!
