This modern and easily digestable center explains the history and significance of the Galápagos better than anywhere else in the country. Exhibits deal with the biology, geology and human history of the islands - it deserves a visit even if you've been inundated with facts from boat guides. From the center there are also many well-marked trails that wind around the cactus and scrub of Cerro de las Tijeretas (Frigatebird Hill).
