Hotel Silberstein
At the beginning of the 20th century, members of the Angermeyer family arrived to the islands and established the Residential Hotel Angermeyer. Surrounded by a beautiful garden it was an information centre for tourists willing to learn the secrets of the Enchanted Islands. The new owners, Werner Silberstein and his wife Gabriele, of German origin, kept the name of Hotel Angermeyer for some time, maintaining the traditional hospitality with modern service, ready to provide you accommodation with full board at a high standard in a natural paradise. Today the hotel is named Hotel Silberstein and continues giving you the possibility to explore the precious treasures of the Galápagos Islands in different ways. It will surely be a unique experience to be overwhelmed by the jewels of the underwater world or to visit the different islands on a cruise. You will have the possibility to spend a perfect holiday in which you can both explore the beauty of this natural paradise and stay in the unique Hotel Silberstein.

1 day : Flight from Quito to Baltra (Santa Cruz)
|
Departing in Quito, the flight travels via Guayaquil to Baltra and then bus and ferry take you to Puerto Ayora, which is on the island of Santa Cruz. You will be accommodated in the Hotel Silberstein. In the afternoon it is possible to go for a walk to the Charles Darwin Scientific Station, where the oldest and largest tortoises are being kept. In this unique research programme, which is essentially financed by donations, the attempt is being made to save the various species from dying out. In the evening dinner will be served at the hotel, starting with a welcome drink.

There you have the opportunity to watch the island's marvellous wildlife. As well as sea lions and land or sea iguanas, you will be able to observe the variety of seagulls that inhabit the isle. Lunch is served aboard before the yacht leaves for the hotel, where dinner will be prepared.

4 day: Day trip to Bartolome
|
Today we will do a full-day trip to the island of Bartolome. After climbing up the moon-like surface, right up to the highest point of the island, you will be rewarded with a magnificent view of the Galapagos Islands, the volcanic landscape and especially of Pinnacle Rock, one of Galapagos' most photographed sites. People swimming on the island's beach are often joined by penguins and, at certain times of the year, by turtles looking for a spot in the soft sand to lay their eggs.

|
5 day: Visiting the highlands of Santa Cruz
|
Travelling by bus, the tour goes up into the highlands of Santa Cruz. On a farm ground in the hills you can normally find the giant "Galapagos" tortoises which gave the islands their name. The following walk is a special experience; the path leads into the lava tunnels that were created when the lava stream cooled down. After lunch the walk continues down to a beautiful white beach and its lagoons. Here you will see a great variety of seabirds and land iguanas. Back at the hotel, dinner will be severed.

6 day: Day trip to Santa Fe
|
Santa Fe is characterized by its dry landscape, which is overgrown by opuntia cactuses. This is one of the best places to study land iguanas. The steep paths can be very strenuous and for that reason, many people enjoy cooling down in the hotel's own swimming pool after returning.

|
7 day: Day trip to Floreana
|
Floreana became famous for its "Post Office", a place where in older days pirates used to place their letters in old casks. The one who lived nearest to an address was supposed to deliver the letter. This old custom is still kept alive by many tourists.
The "Devil's Crown" is an almost sunken crater. Only a semicircle of volcano rocks remains above sea-level. These rocks provide a home to breeding colonies of blue-footed boobies and red-beaked tropical birds and are a diver's paradise. Another beautiful nature site is Cormorant Bay. With a dense mangrove belt behind the beach and a tranquil lagoon, it is inhabited by flamingos, bahama ducks and others.
