 Between the hard-lava world of the islands, and the underwater realm of the sea, lies the Coastal Zone, an extremely fascinating and important environment. As an archipelago, the Galápagos has more than its share of shoreline -- over 1,350 kilometers, about 840 miles of the rugged interface between land and sea. It is more than an "in-between" place, however -- in some ways evolution, like inspiration and humor, occurs most profitably at the interface where two parallel worlds meet.
Here most of our walks in the Galápagos take place -- with the scuttle of the bright orange Sally lightfoot crabs underfoot, beneath the gaze and snort of the marine iguanas, to the barking of sea lions and the crashing of the surf off the shore. This is very likely the environment you will remember when you look back on your time spent in the Galápagos as the place where your own inspirations took flight.
