My trip to the islands concluded my series of trips with the other exchange students throughout the country. We stayed on the Island of Santa Cruz in a hotel that was nothing special, but we didn't spend much time there anyway. Most people go to Galapagos on a cruise ship to see all of the islands, but we really only got to see Santa Cruz. This island is the most populated out of the 13 large islands, six small islands and 42 islets. In all, there is a population of 18,000.
