iQOO🐮Arriving at Turtle Bay on a new moon night, the beach shimmered with a cold, silvery phosphorescence under the moonlight. Following the tracks left by the ranger's red flashlight, we suddenly saw leatherback turtles emerge from the waves like prehistoric warships—their eyes brimming with the salt of the Pacific Ocean, using their flippers to dig the holy grail of life in the sand. The moment the first egg fell into the nest, everyone present held their breath, with only the sound of the tide providing accompaniment to this ritual that had continued for hundreds of millions of years. At dawn, the hatchlings broke through the sand, trudging towards the indigo dawn on the horizon, instantly filling the beach with the trails of miniature galaxies. The ranger whispered, "The pattern on the shell of each returning mother turtle is a unique star map." And in my hand, I found a drop of warm, salty incubation water that had drifted in with the sea breeze.
5.0/5iQOO🐮Walking through the tree fern corridor of the lizard park felt like stepping into the prelude to a Jurassic era. Green iguanas, frozen like emerald sculptures on branches, only stirred with amber eyes when I crushed the fallen leaves. As I counted the seventh chameleon at the observation deck, a small crested lizard suddenly leaped from the overhead vines into the pond, its webbed feet creating ripples reminiscent of Swan Lake. The most delightful surprise was at the feeding area—bearing dragons gently rolled mango slices with their barbed tongues, while children's hands trembled slightly as they held up lettuce leaves, as if performing an ancient ritual. As dusk warmed the red rocks like a fireplace, hundreds of lizards simultaneously turned towards the sunset, the rustling of their scales whispering, "We were survivors of the dinosaur era; now it's your countdown's turn."

韭娄The National Vow Church is called "Basilica" by the locals. It is 151 meters tall and can be seen from any side of the city. It is indeed tall enough. Inside, it is very simple and there are not many things. There is an additional fee to climb to the top, which is not expensive. We were tired and did not go up. Other churches in Quito are much more luxurious than this one.

74.7/5翱翔的大鲨鱼La Ronda is known as Quito's bohemian street. The short streets are lined with colorful buildings and hung with small colorful flags. The atmosphere is joyful and energetic, which is completely different from the historical city. Since the colonial period, this place has been a gathering place for artists, literati, poets, politicians, etc. Many celebrities in Ecuador have visited. There are still many coffee shops, youth shops and restaurants, all of which are local.

3adeThe institute has a small range of unique species such as giant tortoises and land iguanas, as well as introductions to these species. Several exhibition houses mainly introduce Darwin's history and achievements. It is best to go to the Darwin Institute with a guide and listen to the explanations, otherwise the experience will be low. We went around by ourselves and couldn't understand many things.
94.7/5乖小咪San Cristóbal Island is an isolated island in the Galapagos Province. The water around here is very clear and the underwater flora and fauna are rich. It is also an ideal diving site. You can swim with posters and various colored sea fishes. It is really lovely to watch their agile postures under the sea.
